2023 City-Wide Chip Sealing — July 18-20 (List of No Parking Streets)

2023 City-Wide Chip Sealing — July 18-20, 2023

Project Name: 2023 City-Wide Chip/Crack Sealing, Phase II

Contractor: Klickitat County Public Works Department 

Description of Project: Road wear and cracks come in all shapes and sizes, and no pavement is immune to cracking. If left untreated, those cracks are only the start of more significant problems, from potholes all the way to sub-base failure. The city-wide chip sealing will start in July on a variety of roads that are in good, fair, and poor condition, as identified by the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board.

Chip Sealing Chip sealing is a thin film of heated asphalt liquid sprayed on the road surface, followed by the placement of small aggregate ("chips"). The chips are then compacted to orient the chips for maximum adherence to the asphalt, and excess stone is swept from the surface. This protects the pavement from the effects of sun and water, increases skid resistance, fills small cracks and other surface defects. Why is chip sealing done? A chip seal is about one fourth to one fifth the cost of a conventional asphalt overlay and extends the life of asphalt pavement by 5 to 7 years, which varies with the type and amount of daily traffic.
