Lyons Roadway Improvements

Contractors for the Town will begin the 2023 street improvement projects on Town-managed streets in June, weather permitting. There will be both chip seal work, as well as overlay and patching work.

Chip sealing work consists of applying asphalt to a road surface followed by a layer of one-quarter inch chips that essentially create a new layer on top of the road. Chip sealing operations are a part of the Town’s primary roadway rehabilitation plan. The process is intended to extend the lifespan of the roadway and postpone larger reconstruction efforts that would require more expensive work and longer travel restrictions.

A week after the chips are applied, crews return to the area to apply a sealant designed to help the chips adhere to the road. The road will be a bit rougher than normal for a few weeks, but the vehicles driving on the road soon crush the chips down making for a smooth ride that will help the road last a lot longer than it normally would have. To help cyclists, the Town uses a 1/4-inch chip instead of the typical 1/2-inch chip on the surface of the road. This greatly enhances rideability and helps the road smooth out quicker.
