Dixon city officials have announced the launch of the city’s 2026 Street Resurfacing Program, representing about $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 preventive maintenance throughout Dixon, according to a post on the city’s Facebook page.

The program is funded through motor fuel tax revenue and local infrastructure funds. Construction is expected to begin in June and continue throughout the 2026 construction season.

“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,” Public Works Director Matt Huyett said. “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 about 3.5 miles of roadway, the city will replace sidewalks in select locations, address drainage concerns, reconstruct downtown crosswalks, and perform crack sealing at locations throughout the city.

”The City Council has consistently identified infrastructure as a priority, and this program continues that commitment,” City Manager Danny Langloss said. “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 throughout the year.
