The seal coat will complete a rehabilitation project which began earlier this summer. Contractor's crews will be working from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. The project is expected to take two to three days, weather permitting.
Motorists can expect minor delays as flaggers guide traffic through the work zone.
An advisory speed limit of 35 mph will be posted to increase safety for motorists. A slower speed and maintaining a proper distance from other vehicles will help prevent damage from loose rock chips. Seal coating involves placing a thin layer of liquid asphalt and crushed rock over the new pavement. Seal coating keeps water out of the road surface, preventing damage when water freezes, expands and turns a hairline crack into a pothole. Seal coating also prevents erosion to the road's surface due to weather, and the crushed rock improves vehicle traction.
