Chip & Seal

2025 Schedule

 The Highway Department will start Chip & Sealing roads effective August 11, 2025.  The expected time frame for   completion is 2 - 3 weeks.  Please see below the list of roads that are scheduled to be done. 

Reducing Chip Seal Vehicle Damage

 The Highway Department makes every effort to reduce vehicle damage during and immediately after chip seal   projects. While these efforts may not prevent all damage to vehicles during the chip seal process, they have   substantially reduced the likelihood of damage.

 The Highway Department safety efforts include posting reduced speeds in work zones, closed roadways or lanes   during chip seal projects, and sweeping the roadway during the chip seal process and after the project completion   to eliminate loose stones.

 Motorists can also work to protect their vehicles when driving through chip seal project areas:

• Use alternate routes.
• Slow down. Higher speeds can cause loose stones to scatter and damage vehicle paint and windshields.
• Increase distance between vehicles. Leave space between you and the other vehicles to reduce damage caused by loose stones.
• Follow posted work zone signage, use caution and consider worker safety when travelling through a work zone.
