Sealcoat
Sealcoat is a thin layer of emulsion or liquid asphalt covered with a layer of crushed slag, rock, or stone to seal the surface of an existing paved roadway. When used as a preventative maintenance treatment, sealcoat life cycle cost analysis has proven to add 35-40% to the life expectancy of the road.
For a short time following the sealcoat application, the road surface may have loose stones. The VBCRC utilizes rollers, brooms, and in some cases, vacuum trucks to limit the amount of loose stones; however, drivers should expect to drive around 35 miles per hour until the "Loose Stone" signs are removed and allow extra driving distance between vehicles.
Fog Seal
Fog seal is a layer of liquid asphalt applied over a sealcoat for additional protection from weather. The black coating of the fog seal provides additional safety benefits of better heat retention from sunlight to melt ice and snow in the winter and spring, as well as giving more contrast to paint lines for better visibility.
During the fog seal application process, the road will either be closed to through traffic or will have flagger guidance. When closed, all traffic should divert to another route unless their destination is within the work zone. Those who must travel on the wet fog seal should go no more than 5 miles per hour. Notifications are delivered to all residents who live on the road segment receiving treatment and information is posted on our social media channels and website.
