Please be aware that the crew may work on several sites each day, therefore they may not arrive at your location until later in the day.
Advice to motorists and other highways users
- Drive/Ride carefully over the new surface to prevent damage to vehicles/bikes from loose chippings.
- Drive/Ride at less than 20mph.
- Keep your distance.
- Do not overtake.
Bus service
If you use a regular bus service which travels the road being surface dressed, there may be disruption to this bus route. Please contact the relevant bus company to find out about any alternative arrangements that they may put in place during works.
Other Treatments
GripFibre
Gripfibre offers an effective and safe treatment, for example on variable substrates and winding roads. It has been proven to have exceptional retained skid resistance and durability values.
Microsurfacing
This type of treatment is generally used on urban roads (residential areas) and lasts up to 10 years. It is laid over the top of the existing surface to seal and protect it. Micro-surfacing is applied in dry, moderate to warm weather conditions.
