What is this work and why is it required?

Micro seal, a type of slurry seal coating, is applied to asphalt to provide a layer of protection, adding 5-7 years to the lifespan of the road. It is a wet coating which is safe to drive on after several hours of curing time, however, it will take several months to cure to a fully hardened “membrane.” During this time it may show scuffs and tire marks, which tend to fade and blend as the curing process continues. The new surface will also “shed” some of its gravel component in the first few weeks, and the City will conduct additional street sweeping work to ensure this is cleaned up. While not as smooth as brand new asphalt, micro seal provides a smoother, improved surface over older, worn asphalt.
