Note on 2009/10 Programme Maintenance Work
This year we plan to surface 77 sites across the city using micro asphalt.
Micro asphalting is a cost effective cold laid bitumen (tar) based surfacing material, it is placed on top of the existing road surface. The material is generally laid 12 to 15 mm thick, but depressions in the road up to 25 mm deep can be evened out to improve the ride quality.
Due to the number of sites throughout the city requiring micro asphalting, priority has been given to this type of resurfacing for 2009/10.
Prioritising micro asphalting means that we won't carry out any surface dressing this year.
Surface dressing involves spraying a binder (tar) on to the road and rolling in stone chips.
We will be pre-patching roads ready for the 2010/11 surface dressing programme during 2009/10.
