Contractors retained by The County will be undertaking a single surface treatment application on four roads starting Monday, June 21 as part of the rural road preventative maintenance program. The work is expected to continue for a week.
The following roads will be affected:
- Bethesda Road (Elmbrook Road to Civic Address 622)
- Brummell Road (Kings Road to County Road 24)
- County Road 7 (County Road 25 to Bongard Crossroad)
- Clarke Road (County Road 8 to Miller Road)
Single surface treatment is a preventative maintenance tool that preserves and reinforces existing pavements and surface treated roads, extending their life expectancy.
It is constructed by spraying a uniform application of asphalt emulsion – which is a liquid asphalt cement emulsified in water – followed by a layer of cover aggregate.
Roads may appear to be granular while setting, but will continue to harden before taking on the final look of surface treatment. Warm weather and traffic will assist with setting the cover aggregate into the asphalt emulsion.
