Pavement Preservation Treatments

Pavement preservation practices are treatments that are used as a proactive approach to maintain the condition of existing roadways.  These treatments are a cost-effective approach to maximize the useful life of roadways, reduce premature pavement failures, and extend funding to allow more necessary work to be undertaken.

Crackseal Treatment

Cracking is a common and unavoidable type of damage found in asphalt pavement. Crack sealing is the placement of specialized treatment materials (crack sealant) above or into cracks to prevent the intrusion of water and incompressible materials. Sealing cracks promptly helps to prevent water penetration which can accelerate the deterioration of the pavement and result in potholes and base failures.

The Town is currently proposing to perform crack sealing in the Spring of 2021.  Areas that are proposed to recieve this treatment are highlighted on the below map:
