County of Humboldt: Department of Public Works Announces Fiberized Micro Seal Project

What is Fiberized Micro Seal?

Fiber Reinforced Micro-surfacing (or slurry seal) is a cost-effective preventive maintenance that consists of a thin layer of a polymer modified asphalt emulsion blended with finely crushed stone and high strength glass fibers. The purpose of this treatment is to seal minor cracks and improve reflective cracking resistance and lead to superior flexural durability.

Fiberized Micro Seal Project

The current schedule is as follows:

  • Waddington Road – Friday Sept. 26th and working 4 days
  • Ridgewood and Walnut and Indianola Cutoff – Thursday Oct. 2nd and working 4 days

The project is scheduled to run Monday thru Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

These roads will be experiencing extended delays in excess of 15 minutes.

Detours will be used in areas that will allow.

One-way controlled traffic should be expected.

Residences that have the Fiberized Micro Seal installed in front of their residents should expect a 2-hour delay before they can enter or exit their residence. (This does not apply to medical emergency or life safe hazard emergency needs.)

The schedule is subject to change.

We thank you in advance for your patience and look forward to the completion of the project.

These projects are funded by Measure O.
