Dixon Releases 2026 Street Resurfacing Program

The City of Dixon is proud to announce the launch of its 2026 Street Resurfacing Program, representing approximately $2 million in infrastructure investments throughout the community. The project includes resurfacing 51 blocks of roadway, along with sidewalk and drainage improvements, downtown crosswalk reconstruction, and preventative maintenance throughout Dixon.

The program is funded through a combination of Motor Fuel Tax revenue and local infrastructure funds. Construction is expected to begin in June and continue throughout the 2026 construction season.

Public Works Director Matt Huyett stated, "While resurfacing streets and reconstructing our downtown crosswalks will be the most visible parts of this year's project, we're equally focused on the work that helps protect those investments. Sidewalk improvements and preventative maintenance efforts are all important parts of maintaining City infrastructure, and we're excited to continue building on that foundation.”

In addition to resurfacing approximately 3.5 miles of roadway, the City will be replacing sidewalks in select locations, addressing drainage concerns, reconstructing downtown crosswalks, and performing crack sealing at various locations throughout the City.

"The City Council has consistently identified infrastructure as a priority, and this program continues that commitment," said City Manager Danny Langloss. "We've made tremendous progress over the last several years, and this investment allows us to continue improving the infrastructure that residents rely on every day."

"Residents have made it clear that sidewalk improvements are important to them, and we've listened," said Mayor Glen Hughes. "Safe, well-maintained sidewalks improve accessibility and enhance the overall quality of life in our community. I'm proud to see continued investment in sidewalk improvements as part of this year's program."

Street selection was based on the City's Street Analysis Program and input from Public Works staff who monitor roadway conditions year-round.

As part of Dixon’s 2026 Street Resurfacing Program, several brick crosswalks in downtown Dixon will be replaced with decorative stamped concrete crosswalks. This work is scheduled to begin June 8.

City staff, the project engineer, and the contractor have worked together to develop a construction schedule that is efficient while balancing access to downtown businesses, deliveries, customers, and emergency services. The project has also been phased to minimize impacts to downtown events and activities.

The current tentative schedule is as follows:

Phase 1 (Starting June 8th) 🟢
• River St. and Peoria Ave (Begin Thursday after City Market)
• West 2nd St and Peoria Ave
• West 1st St and Ottawa (North and West Crosswalks)
Phase 2 (Tentatively the week of 6/15) 🩷
• River St and Hennepin Ave
• West 2nd St and Hennepin Ave
• West 1st St and Ottawa Ave (South and East Crosswalks)
Phase 3 (More than likely following Petunia Fest) 🟠
• West 1st St and Peoria Ave
Phase 4 🔵
• West 1st ST and Hennepin Ave

Each phase is expected to take approximately 7–10 days, although the schedule remains weather dependent and may be adjusted due to unforeseen field conditions.

To reduce impacts on City Market, work at the River Street & Peoria Avenue and River Street & Hennepin Avenue intersections is planned to begin on Thursdays following City Market, with the goal of reopening those intersections prior to the following Wednesday's market.

No construction closures are planned during Petunia Festival.

Throughout construction, downtown businesses will remain open. Every effort will be made to maintain access for customers, deliveries, and emergency vehicles while the improvements are underway.

We appreciates the patience and cooperation of residents, businesses, and visitors as these improvements are completed. We will be providing regular updates as construction progresses.
