The City will begin sealing and rejuvenating areas of asphalt pavement at 53 locations the week of September 20. The project, which is estimated to take eight to twelve days to complete, is expected to seal 117,000 square yards of pavement.
The project involves spraying a clear liquid sealant on the street which penetrates, rejuvenates, and seals the asphalt surface and binder by replenishing the lost oils and resins to the pavement, restoring its original desirable properties while improving the aggregate/asphalt bond. Once sealant is applied, a coating of limestone screenings or sand will be spread for traction while the material is absorbed. Street sweeping of the limestone/sand typically occurs the day after the pavement sealing is done.
Drivers should expect brief street closures in specific work zones as the work crews apply the sealant/rejuvenator. The street will open for traffic one hour after all steps of the application are finished. "No Parking" restrictions, which will be posted 48 hours in advance, should be short in duration and specific to each work area.
