City of Langdon, ND - Street Project Updates

06/17/2026

Update - June 17, 2026 -

Chip sealing is going well. Thank you so much for parking off the street so the crews can work efficiently. It is much appreciated!

A few people have asked why the city decided to chip seal vs. leaving the streets smooth blacktop. Chip sealing has been proven to extend pavement life up to 10 years. It helps prevent water (rain, snow, ice) from getting into the base material which causes it to erode and creates potholes. It also protects the asphalt from the sun; and gives the road more traction for vehicle tires. So, while it isn't ideal for roller blading, it does have many benefits in the long run. 🙂

We still have a few more punchlist items we are working on (things the engineers want to adjust from their original plans now that they've seen the finished product... mostly due to where water isn't draining properly, valves/grates that need to be adjusted, etc.).

A few valley gutters/curbs will be cut out and adjusted starting tomorrow. One is on the east side of the 9th St./13th Ave. intersection. Valley gutters at the intersections of 6th St./17th Ave. and 10th St./12th Ave. will also be replaced due to how they both settled over the winter. The north side of the valley gutter on 11th St./14th Ave will also be worked on, as will curbing/sidewalks on the south side of St. Alphonsus church and concrete will be added to the gravel area in the alley between 2nd and 3rd Streets (north of 8th Ave.).

These areas may have brief closures throughout the process, when necessary, but crews will keep them open as much as possible. Please be aware of work in these spots when trying to get around town. Again, they plan to start removing valley gutters in these locations tomorrow (weather pending).

Thank you so much for your ongoing patience and cooperation!

As you probably guessed, chip sealing was delayed this week due to the unpredictable, rainy weather. The crew is currently planning to start Monday morning (June 15). Please try to avoid street parking until they complete your street. Thank you!

Final Step News 🥳:

Next week we will start the final step of this three-year project. Can you believe it?! 🤩 Chip sealing will begin next Wednesday, June 10 and should wrap up early the following week (June 15-16). As always, this is contingent on weather. Chip seal will be put on all streets in town that were paved the last two summers, as well as the streets that had crack sealing done earlier this summer.

We ask that you avoid parking on these streets if/when crews are working in your area. This should be a fairly quick and painless process, but if you could help us out by staying out of the way of the crew as much as possible, that would be fantastic. Thank you in advance!

This may, or may not, be the last post we make for this project... so we want to take a moment to once again thank everyone for their cooperation and patience as we worked on the City of Langdon streets the last 3 years. We feel the project went as well as it possibly could have; and hope you are all enjoying the (almost) finished project. 🛤️ Have a great summer!

Change of plans - this darn weather just cannot seem to warm up! 🥶
Crack sealing will take place on Thursday, May 7th instead of today (when the forecast looks a bit warmer, so hopefully we will get the green light to do it then).
Note- The crew will try to avoid 8th Street between 7-8am and 3-4pm to help with school drop-off/pick-up congestion.

Hello! It's been a while (and we doubt you've missed us😉)!

We wanted to let you know that we will have a crew in Langdon THURSDAY, May 7), doing some crack sealing. They will be working in the areas circled in yellow (specifically in the pink/green highlighted areas with little red lines) on the two maps provided.

These streets will be open to traffic, we are just asking that you be aware of crews working and, if you could, please avoid parking on the street in these areas until their work is completed (they will come knocking on doors if they need cars moved).

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
