The city of Duluth's contractor will begin applying chip sealing on several city roads starting Thursday. Drivers should expect lane closures, flaggers and delays while work is in progress. Drivers are encouraged to slow down and use caution when traveling near a construction zone.
Chip sealing is a technique that preserves and protects street pavement, extending the life of a road on average by 10-15 years, according to a news release from the city of Duluth. This process is typically applied to roads within a year or so of when they had been resurfaced, and involves a two-step process. Oil and small rocks are applied in the first step, which is then followed by a fog seal eliminating any loose aggregate.
The chip-sealing process is expected to last two weeks and the contractor will prioritize work on busier locations during non-peak hours. Roads included in this project are:
- Highland Street from 57th to 55th avenues west;
- Central Avenue from Highland Street to West Eighth Street;
- Bristol Street from Central Avenue to 800 feet east;
- A portion of Cleveland Street;
- Clover Street from Woodland Avenue to East Eighth Street;
- East Eighth Street from Clover Street to Wallace Avenue;
- Maxwell Avenue from Redwing Street to Anoka Street;
- Anoka Street from Maxwell Avenue to Woodland Avenue;
- Woodland Avenue from Austin Street to Martin Road.
