Microsurfacing Begins October 1st

Beginning October 1st, Astech Corp will begin microsurfacing on various roads in Winnebago County totaling 28 miles. During construction traffic will be limited to one lane with a pilot car. The entire project is expected to take up to two weeks. Microsurfacing is a surface treatment for asphalt roads intended to extend the lift of the pavement by 5 to 7 years. The process involves a mixture of asphalt, cement, coarse sand, and rock applied to the road and struck off with a squeegee. The cost is about $30,000 per mile, which is about 10% the cost of more major rehabilitation.
