Where: Barry County Route W between Route A in Wheaton and Old Bus 37 Highway in Butterfield
When: 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. Friday-Saturday & Monday, September 15-16 & 18
What: Contractor crews will seal the existing driving surface as part of a Pavement Sealing Project along various routes in the Southwest District. A seal coat is not an alternative to an asphalt overlay, but is being used as an economical way to maintain and preserve the roadway. The treatments keep a road from deteriorating and will extend its life.
