Micro-surfacing Extends Roadway Longevity

Micro-surfacing is an application where a special coating is added to the top layer of asphalt, to preserve the underlying pavement by preventing oxidization and moisture penetration. New Micro-surfacing is a cost-effective treatment that prolongs the life of the road by slowing down ongoing deterioration. This helps the Town of Ponoka keep roadways in good condition and maximize the pavement lifecycle.
