2020 Pavement Rejuvenator Locations
Rejuvenator can extend the life of a road by five years.
The Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) will be applying pavement rejuvenator, a glue-type substance that can extend the life of a road by five years, to 15 newly completed road surfaces in Lake County this year.
The maltene-based pavement rejuvenator acts like a glue which creates a tighter road surface. This leads to less rocks chipping off, slows the oxidation process, and prevents water from sitting in cracks in the pavement, reducing damage from freeze-thaw cycles.
Traffic impacts are typically minimal as one lane is closed at a time while the rejuvenator is applied. The process takes about 30 minutes. Once applied, motorists may notice an aggregate spread on the road that looks like sand, which prevents the rejuvenator liquid from getting on vehicles while soaking in the pavement. Motorists should drive carefully on the aggregate covering following application. The excess aggregate is swept up the following day.
Pavement rejuvenator is one of the many pavement management techniques LCDOT uses to preserve the county highway system. Learn more by watching this video and visiting LCDOT's website.
