Streets

The City of Siloam Springs is committed to maintaining streets in a safe and usable condition and efficiently managing an improvement program for these streets. The City of Siloam Springs Street Services Division does pothole repair, asphalt street overlay, and drainage maintenance. We also provide emergency services when the city has severe storms and other natural disasters.

The U.S. Highway 412 widening project has begun. Because this is a State rather than City project, the public should have access to the appropriate contact for questions or concerns.

Street Maintenance

The Street Department works to program drainage projects and provide maintenance for drainage facilities citywide. The Street Department provides maintenance for storm drains and drainage ditches and implements small drainage repair projects.

This department is currently developing a citywide drainage program. The program includes preparation of an inventory of existing city drainage ways and will include programming future drainage facility construction projects and a maintenance plan for city drainage ways.
