2024 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
Project Type:
Street
Project Status:
Under Review
The City of White Bear Lake is continuing to improve the condition of the City's infrastructure through implementation of a Street Reconstruction Program. The Street Reconstruction Program emphasizes rebuilding existing roads that are at the end of their useful life, expensive to maintain and are not providing good service.
During the 2024 construction season, the City of White Bear Lake will mill and overlay streets as well as total pavement replacement. The mill and overlay process consists of milling (grinding) the upper layer (wearing course) of bituminous from the street, replacing select damaged sections of curb and placing a new wearing course layer of bituminous pavement. The total pavement replacement process consists of removing all of the bituminous from the street, regrading existing gravel, replacing select damaged sections of curb and placing a new non-wearing course layer and a wearing course layer of bituminous pavement.
Below is the list of streets slated to be rehabilitated during the summer of 2024, under City Project No. 24-01.
Campbell Avenue (Birch Lake Avenue to Fourth Street)
Krech Avenue (Birch Lake Avenue to Fifth Street)
Second Street (west cul-de-sac to Wood Avenue)
Third Street (west cul-de-sac to Wood Avenue)
Third Street (Campbell Avenue to Bald Eagle Avenue)
Wood Avenue (Birch Lake Avenue to Fourth Street)
Sports Center Drive (Birch Lake Boulevard South to Highway 96)

Residential Sanitary Sewer Wye Replacement Program
Prior to each year's Pavement Rehabilitation Project, the City performs a television inspection of all of the existing City sanitary sewer mains on that year's project. The City not only televises the City's sanitary sewer mains but also rotates the view of the camera to document each sanitary connection condition. Problems tend to occur at the point of connection where the individual service meets the main. This connection is commonly referred to as a "wye." Recognizing the concern of the presence of tree roots in private sanitary services, the City developed a program to assist property owners with replacement of their sanitary sewer wye connections in conjunction with the pavement rehabilitation program. In order to determine if problems exist beyond this connection point, you may wish to have your entire sanitary sewer service televised.
If your property is within the Pavement Rehabilitation Project area and the sanitary sewer wye has blockage, you can have your sanitary sewer service connection and a portion of your sanitary sewer service replaced. The City Council has adopted a policy to assist property owners with replacement of failing sanitary sewer service connections and up to 10 feet of service pipe.

Driveway Replacement Program
White Bear Lake residents who live on streets scheduled for rehabilitation may take advantage of a unique opportunity to reconstruct their driveways during the pavement rehabilitation process. If you are a property owner on the 2024 Pavement Rehabilitation Project and are interested in the possibility of replacing your existing residential driveway, the Engineering Department will assist you by providing a cost proposal based upon unit prices included in the street project contract. The Engineering Department will also supervise the construction of your new driveway.
