Work is expected to be finished by mid to late August,
The Indiana Department of Transportation announces chip seal operations will be taking place on U.S. 36 and State Road 32 in Vermillion, Fountain, and Parke counties.
Beginning on or after Thursday, crews will begin work on U.S. 36 at the Indiana/Illinois state line and will chip seal from there to Rockville. Fog sealing and pavement markings are expected to be placed beginning on or after August 5 in this area.
On S.R. 32, crews will be chip sealing beginning on or after Monday, August 5, with fog sealing and pavement marker placement happening on or after August 8.
Work is expected to be finished by mid to late August but is weather permitting and subject to change.
Crews will place message boards at each end of the project, to alert the traveling public. INDOT suggests finding alternative routes during the short duration of the chip sealing operation. In the event of weather delays, the schedule will be altered accordingly.
Work is completed under lane closures with flagging, or a full closure in several, if not all of these locations to prevent damage to both vehicles and the roadway. During operations, existing pavement is coated with liquid asphalt, which seals cracks and provides waterproof protection. This extends the service life of the roadway and lowers maintenance costs. Once the seal coat is complete, loose aggregate is applied and swept from the road. After a curing period, crews will return to fog seal the new driving surface and apply pavement markings.
