Commission hears explanation for Road 8 delay; microseal deferred until spring
Summary
Road supervisor Dominguez told the commission Road 8 cannot be microsealed this season because the double-layer chip seal needs months to cure; crews will wait until spring and continue sweep and cleanup work in the meantime.
Road supervisor Juan Dominguez told the commission that Road 8’s microseal will be deferred until spring because the newly applied double-layer chip seal must cure before microseal can be applied.
Dominguez said crews completed the chip seal and are finishing sweeping to remove loose gravel. When a commissioner pressed for the reason the microseal could not be finished this year, Dominguez explained that “with the double layer chip seal, we can't microseal it because it's too fresh. It's gotta cure out,” and added that, “right now with the heat, it's gonna be at least a couple months.” He said the crew will give the surface time to cure and will microseal in the spring.
Dominguez also reported other road work: crews are working subgrade on Road 33 and will begin hauling caliche next week on the first mile. Commissioners and staff discussed cleanup and seasonal timing for surfacing work.
