Road to Better Roads
About the Program
Road to Better Roads is the city road rehabilitation program that was established in 2013 to improve the overall quality of Yorkville's road infrastructure. The ongoing program will result in roads with improved pavement quality and a prolonged lifespan. Roads to be included are based on a detailed engineering analysis of every street and comparing it to the cost of repairing the street at various points throughout its lifespan, then selecting the streets that give the City the best value. The more value we get each year, the more roads we can do and the sooner we can do them.
Program Funding
This program is primarily funded through a road infrastructure fee. All funds collected through the road infrastructure fee will go directly to the Road to Better Roads program. This plan will also address a number of growing water and sewer infrastructure issues by replacing aged water and sewer lines.

Current Construction
During 2019 the RTBR program will consist of the milling and resurfacing of the pavement along several streets within the City as noted in the attached map. The project may begin as early as May and should be completed by mid-July. Impacts to traffic are expected to be minimal; however daytime lane and roadway closures should be expected.
The contract has been awarded and the contractor will be performing and completing removal and replacement of pavements on the following roads:
Kennedy Rd. - Rt. 47 – Autumn Creek Subdivision
McHugh Rd. - Jackson St. to Farmstead Dr.
Jackson St. – Freemont to McHugh
Elm St. – Freemont to McHugh
Park St. – Rt. 47 – McHugh
Sanders Ct. – E. Main to end
