Chip Seal/ASFALTADO
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. – Beginning tomorrow morning, June 12, city contractors will begin a chip seal and fog seal project on Emmett Street E., between Grant Street and Capital Avenue NE.
Contractors will perform chip seal, street sweeping, and fog seal operations through the weekend into Monday.
Chip seal is an effective way to extend the life of street pavement, lasting five to six years. Crews apply liquid asphalt and small stone chips, then roll over it. A fog seal is an application of asphalt emulsion over a previously chip sealed road.
The streets will remain open and neighbors will have access to their properties. Please plan for intermittent traffic disruptions. Please do not park on these streets during work hours; vehicles will be towed. Pedestrians and motorists should be aware of construction areas and follow posted signs.
The work is scheduled to take place from 7:00 a.m. until 7 p.m. and is expected to be complete by Monday, June 14, 2021, weather permitting.
The 2E Emmett – East Avenue bus route will continue to be serviced during this road work, without a detour. This route may experience delays during the course of this project.
Emergency vehicles and local traffic will have access during this time.
We appreciate everyone’s patience during this and all work.

El sellado superficial con gravilla y asfalto es una forma efectiva de extender la vida útil del pavimento de la calle, hasta una duración de cinco a seis años. Para este sellado, los equipos vierten asfalto líquido y gravilla sobre el pavimento, y luego lo apisonan. Sobre este se vierte emulsión asfáltica y una nueva capa de asfalto.
Las calles permanecerán abiertas y los vecinos tendrán acceso a sus propiedades. Tenga en cuenta que puede haber interrupciones intermitentes en el tráfico. No estacione en estas calles durante el horario del trabajo; se remolcarán los vehículos que lo hagan.
