Additional Pavement Preservation Efforts to Continue the Week of July 28

Beginning on Tuesday, July 29, Columbia Public Works - Street Division will continue annual pavement preservation maintenance on several Columbia roads. This maintenance consists of sealing existing road surfaces to prolong the life of our roadways. On these particular streets, they type of pavement preservation maintenance to be performed is referred to as "chip seal".

Roadways which will be affected by chip seal pavement preservation the week of July 28, weather permitting, are:

Tues/Wed July 29 & 30

Fairview Rd between Broadway and Malibu Ct

Hatton Dr between Mills Dr and where the concrete portion of Hatton Dr begins

We understand that fresh asphalt, loose gravel, and lane closures are a hassle. However, as you navigate through work zones, please bear in mind that these workers are doing the very important job of repairing or prolonging the life of our streets, which we all rely on to safely get where we need to go. In addition, pavement preservation treatments require less time and less traffic disruption than the expensive reconstruction projects being avoided or delayed. 

Finally, remember that road crews consist of Dads, Moms, Sons, Daughters, Brothers and Sisters, who make roadways their office. Be patient, drive slowly, watch for workers in and around roadways, and take alternate routes around construction areas when possible. We thank you for understanding!
