Motorists are encouraged to find alternate routes on the day work is scheduled for a specific street or plan additional time to arrive at their destination as period lane closures will occur as equipment and men are working on the streets.
Chip and seal places a coating of road oil on the existing city street followed by a layer of fine crushed rock or “chips.” The layer of crushed chips, including some loose chips, remain on the street to prevent “bleeding” through of the road oil to other surfaces, such as vehicles. The remaining loose chips are later swept up within seven to 10 days dependent on weather conditions and equipment availability. This sealing process assists in reducing impacts from freezing and thawing during winter months on asphalt roads which allow potholes to form and roadway surfaces to fail.
The work is weather and equipment dependent, so changes may occur from time-to-time. For questions about streets or to report a pothole or other roadway problem, contact the Public Works Department at 660-827-3000.
