Advisory

Loose Gravel on Road

Please use caution & be aware of loose gravel on Ringwood Rd, Timothy Ln & Clover Ave due to asphalt preservation.
 

In order to preserve and maintain our recently paved streets the City contracted Corrective Asphalt Materials (CAM) to apply an asphalt rejuvenating material called reclamite. This product has been used on roads for over fifty years and helps extend the life of the road five to seven years. Reclamite is a pavement rejuvenator which reduces the effects of physical and chemical weathering on recently resurface asphalt pavements. It’s important to apply reclamite to newer pavement that is showing little to no signs of surface deterioration.
 
Treatment FAQ:

Why is this product being applied to my road?
CAM, LLC will be applying Reclamite Maltene Based Rejuvenating Agent to your roads.  Reclamite is a product designed to extend the life of the pavement by sealing the pavement from the elements. This preventative maintenance effort will minimize the need for more costly and disruptive methods of street repair.

How long does the process take?    
Once the contractor begins on your street, the process will only take a few hours.  Once the road has been sanded the road will be fully opened to traffic.

When can I drive on the road?
You can exit your driveway and drive through the work area, but please go slow and stay on the sanded area.  Be advised that driving onto a driveway before the contractor is finished sanding may cause the driveway and sidewalk to become temporarily stained. 

When will the road be cleaned up?
After the product is applied, an application of limestone screenings will be applied to the road.  This is not permanent. The screenings will be swept up a day or two after the product is applied.
