Roadway Enhancements: High-Performance Micro Surfacing Project Begins

The City of Palm Coast’s Traffic & Engineering division wishes to inform residents about the High-Performance Micro Surfacing project scheduled for several roadways in Palm Coast. Installation is set to begin on Monday, April 29, 2024, and will continue through Thursday, May 16, 2024.

Project Contractor, Asphalt Paving Systems, Inc., will be applying high-performance micro surfacing on the roadways. This technique involves the application of granite aggregate and polymerized asphalt emulsion, providing a protective layer for the underlying asphalt pavement, resulting in highly durable road surfaces with enhanced aesthetic appeal.

While minimal disruption is anticipated, residents can contribute to the success of this upgrade. Here are some essential tips to facilitate a smooth process:

• Expect Short Delays: Minor delays may occur during working hours. Traffic control specialists will be on-site to coordinate limited access to affected roads.
• Mindful Driving: After paving, avoid turning your vehicle wheels while stationary to prevent power steering marks. These marks are cosmetic and will fade over time. Please allow up to 6 months for the final surface to achieve uniformity.
• Roadside Parking Restrictions: Ensure no vehicles, boats, trailers, etc., are parked on or near the roadway between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
• Keep Roads Clear: Refrain from placing garbage or debris on the roadway.
• Irrigation Systems: Turn off all irrigation systems starting from midnight the night before the scheduled work. Normal irrigation can resume the following day.
