(August 19, 2022 10:58 AM) The Jackson County Department of Transportation will begin the 2022 Chip Seal program on Monday, August 22nd, weather and schedule permitting. The program is scheduled to run for approximately two weeks.
Roads will be treated in Hanover, Henrietta/Rives, Norvell, Parma, Sandstone, and Tompkins townships.
JCDOT makes every effort to reduce vehicle damage during and immediately after chip seal projects, including the posting of reduced speeds in work zones; closing roadways or lanes during chip seal projects; and sweeping the roadway after project completion to eliminate loose stones. Motorists can help protect their vehicles when driving through chip seal project areas in the following ways:
- Use alternate routes
- Slow down. High speeds can cause loose stones to scatter and damage vehicle paint and windshields.
- Increase distance between vehicles. Leave space between you and other vehicles to reduce damage caused by loose stones.
- Follow posted work zone signage, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a work zone
