Phase 1: Oil and chip surface coat
Phase 1 will consist of an oil and chip surface coat. This application helps seal the pavement and provides a base for the final layer of microsurfacing. During this phase there may be some inconvenience as the materials are placed. Drivers are asked to use caution around the construction. With this process, traffic helps roll the rock into the oil, so motorists should expect loose gravel. Once placed, the oil and chip needs to be cured for approximately two weeks before the loose rock is swept.
Phase 2 will be the microsurfacing and final surface layer. This material takes approximately three hours to cure before it can be opened to traffic. The contractor is responsible for notifying the residents affected each day. The city is grateful for residents’ cooperation in completing this road improvement.
