Micro-surfacing to begin on Taylor Drive, 55 Street, Ross Street and Spruce Drive
Starting Friday, July 8, micro-surfacing work will begin on Taylor Drive, 55 Street, Ross Street and Spruce Drive.
Intermittent lane closures will occur as crews will begin line marking removal. Pre-treatment work and micro-surfacing will begin shortly after and will require rolling intersection closures at the various cross streets. Traffic delays are to be expected.
Work on Taylor Drive is expected to occur primarily on weekends with the other streets to be done on weekdays. This year’s micro-surfacing program is expected to take two to three weeks to complete.
Micro-surfacing is a road preservation treatment used to extend the life of a pavement anywhere from five to eight years, depending on the current condition of the pavement surface. Micro-surfacing provides a thin wearing surface on top of the existing asphalt that city roads are paved with. Micro-surfacing is installed quicker and is ready to drive on faster than traditional hot-mix asphalt.
