Chip sealing work consists of applying asphalt to a road surface followed by a layer of aggregate chips that create a new surface on top of the road, according to a city of Longmont news release.
During construction, motorists may encounter loose aggregate chip material, the news release states. The city asks motorists to drive slowly and cautiously during this interim phase.
The days following the chip application, loose chips are removed and a sealant designed to seal the chips will be applied. This work is followed by roadway striping operations, the news release states.
The chip seal process does not require closure of the affected streets, but there will be temporary delays during construction. Access to residences and businesses will remain open during the work, the news release states.
While crews try to complete all projects on time, work is weather dependent and there may be delays due to rain or other unfavorable working conditions, the news release states.
