The City of Sedalia is scheduled to begin chip and seal on streets next week.

According to a news release, several streets are on the list for the work to begin on Monday, August 24.

Motorists are encouraged to find alternate routes on the day work is scheduled for a specific street or plan additional time to arrive at their destination as periodic lane closures will occur as equipment and men are working on the streets.

Chip and seal is a process of placing a coating of road oil on the existing city street followed by a layer of fine crushed rock or “chips”. A roller is then run over the chips to embed some of them into the asphalt and hold the road oil in place. The layer of crushed chips, including some loose chips, remain on the street to prevent “bleeding” through of the oil to other surfaces, such as vehicles. The remaining loose chips are later swept up, routinely within seven days- dependent on weather conditions and equipment availability.

For questions about streets or to report a pothole or other roadway problems, contact the Public Works Department at (660) 827-3000 ext. 1166.
