City Uses Reclaimed Asphalt to Reduce Dust and Maintenance
August 26, 2026
MOOSE JAW, SK – The City of Moose Jaw has applied 3.15 km of reclaimed asphalt in 2026, providing cost-effective infrastructure improvements to several back alleys and roadways.
Reclaimed asphalt (also known as asphalt shavings) is repurposed from local street excavations. Once ground, this recycled product can be used on gravel areas to create a hard, semi-waterproof driving surface, leading to significant reductions in dust and maintenance requirements.
Locations where this material was applied in 2026 include:
Back Lanes
- Elks Field to Simcoe Street
- Coteau Street W to 12th Avenue SW
Roadways
- Laurier Street W from 4th Avenue NW to 1st Avenue NW
- Oxford Street E from 9th Avenue NE to 11th Avenue NE
This work supports the City’s 2026-2029 Strategic Plan, particularly the strategic priority of financial responsibility and transparent governance. These applications demonstrate practical stewardship of taxpayer dollars by actively maintaining and improving existing infrastructure.
If you have a concern regarding City roadways, please use the ‘Report an Issue’ function on the City’s website or the free City of Moose Jaw app.
