PrintSealcoating
Sealcoating, more commonly referred to as "tar and chip," is a cost effective method of preserving a road surface.
The surface is prepared by filling any potholes and correcting any crown/shoulder problems in advance.
Hot emulsions (tar) is placed, following by a layer of stone (chip) and then compacted. Motorists must reduce their speed while traveling on a recently sealcoated road. Vehicle traffic assists in compacting the stone. The road will be noisy and gritty, but this process improves the traction. Excess stone is swept away for reuse.
The Road Commission has performed sealcoating in the past. With recent budget constraints, we have not been financially able to sealcoat roads the last several years.
