May 7, 2025 – The City of Dubuque’s annual asphalt overlay program is currently underway, aiming to improve nearly 10 centerline miles on 42 city streets or street sections during the 2025 construction season.

The program targets streets that would benefit from an asphalt overlay to extend the life of the existing pavement. These streets have not been repaved in at least 12 years. The City of Dubuque Public Works Department manages the program, which includes milling and/or grinding the existing pavement surface, recycling the old asphalt, and repaving streets for a safer and smoother ride.

Notably, property owners are not assessed for costs associated with the asphalt overlay program, as it is funded by Iowa’s Road Use Tax Fund (gas and diesel fuel tax). The program is part of the City’s yearly street maintenance activity, budgeted at $1.16 million for fiscal year 2026. This budget also includes approximately $750,000 to bring curb ramps up to ADA compliance along the overlaid streets.

A detailed schedule outlining when individual streets are expected to receive a partial or complete asphalt overlay this construction season is as follows:

  • Phase One (May):
