ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Two scrub seal projects are scheduled to begin next week led by contractors from Vance Brothers, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation. A scrub seal is a preventative maintenance treatment which rejuvenates the road surface and helps extend the life of the roadway by filling and sealing cracks in the existing asphalt with an emulsified asphalt/aggregate seal.
MoDOT does its best to be good stewards of the monies provided by taxpayers. One of the ways is to employ many preventative maintenance methods, such as these.
Crews are scheduled to begin on Route T in Andrew County on Monday, May 18. They plan to work during daylight hours daily through Wednesday, May 20. They will then seal Route O in Buchanan County on May 21. The work on Route O should only take one day to complete.
These are part of a larger project to seal roads across 13 counties in Northwest Missouri. Other planned routes include:
- May 26 – 27: Route FF in Buchanan County (Route H to U.S. Route 169)
