The chip seal process extends the life of a street by restoring vital asphalt pavement components that are lost through the aging and oxidation process. By sealing the street, moisture is unable to penetrate below the asphalt surface.

A minimum of 48-hours notice will be provided to residents affected by the street improvement projects. According to the press release, expect traffic delays and possible rerouting of traffic during this project.
