It extends the life of the pavement by binding to the road surface as it dries, leaving a tough film that essentially waterproofs the surface. Hinckley Road and Stonewall Road will re-open at the end of the day. Traffic regulators will be onsite to maintain local traffic; however, motorists should seek alternative routes.
