PROJECT SCHEDULE
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Slurry Seal Process provides ongoing preservation treatment to asphalt paved roadways throughout the City. The City’s Pavement Management Program identifies streets that are good candidates for slurry seal treatment. This low-cost treatment consists of a mixture of liquid asphalt and sand, which is spread on the existing surface. This treatment is effective in sealing small cracks in the pavement and slowing down the deterioration of your streets caused by factors such as weather, moisture, traffic, and utility repairs. It is one of the most versatile and cost-effective methods of maintaining and protecting roadways.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
As with any street construction project, slurry sealing causes public inconveniences such as traffic restrictions, street closures, construction noise, and loose gravel on the streets. In addition, slurry seals need time to stabilize, or the roadway has the potential to “scuff up” (see photo example below), creating temporary aesthetic concerns.
As with any street construction project, slurry sealing causes public inconveniences such as traffic restrictions, street closures, construction noise, and loose gravel on the streets. In addition, slurry seals need time to stabilize, or the roadway has the potential to “scuff up” (see photo example below), creating temporary aesthetic concerns. However, these scuff marks do fade considerably over time and, except in severe cases, do not impact the main purpose of the slurry seal which is to extend the pavement life of city streets. These scuff marks are what we call “power steering marks.” They are created by vehicles that are turned in place or when the vehicles are stopped or slow moving. Larger vehicle wheels can cause larger power steering marks and are created more easily.
To help minimize these marks, the slurry sealed roads require special attention for at least three months. Although some scuff marks are typical and expected, following the recommendations in Step 3 of the Slurry Seal Process may help reduce aesthetic damage.
