Contractor to begin chip seal project on 26.5 miles of county roads in mid-July

July 1, 2025 2:03 pm


Public Works has contracted with Vance Brothers to apply chip seal on 26.5 miles of roads in the southeast portion of the county. Work is expected to start in mid-July and take three to four weeks.

Flaggers and a pilot car will control traffic through one lane, so expect up to 15-minute delays to pass through the project. The work zone will be roughly two miles each day. Other roads will remain open.

Chip seal extends the life of asphalt pavement. A coat of tack oil is applied to the road and then topped with fine aggregate. The contract amount is $1.1 million, and it is funded in the Road and Bridge budget.
