Project Scope:

2018 Street Maintenance-starting in July
Buffalo Ridge Streets, Fire Department and City Hall Parking lots

Crack sealing will occur in July-work to start week of July 9,
Micro surfacing in August (start date to be determined).

ROUT & SEAL (Crack sealing)
Rout and seal is used on transverse (crosswise) and longitudinal cracks, involves using a
pavement saw or router to create a reservoir centered over existing cracks, then filling with a sealant.

MICRO SURFACING
Micro surfacing involves placing a slurry—which is a mixture of aggregate, asphalt emulsion, and a mineral filler such as Portland cement—into a wide crack and striking it off with a squeegee. Slurry-filling cracks is good for roadways with severe transverse cracks and/or depressed transverse cracks. A 3-foot-wide squeegee, with sideboards, is typically used to feather the material into the depressed areas.

These are the streets in Buffalo Ridge that will be in the work area:
