State Road 203 To Be Chip Sealed July 5

Last updated on Thursday, June 28, 2018

(SCOTT CO.) - Indiana Department of Transportation maintenance crews have been scheduled to chip seal a 3.6-mile segment of State Road 203 between State Road 356 at Lexington and State Road 362 at the Scott-Clark County line, weather permitting, on Thursday, July 5.

Flaggers will be onsite to direct motorists around moving worksites.

Chip seals coat the existing pavement with liquid asphalt - sealing cracks and protecting the roadbed from harmful ultraviolet rays. This extends service life and lowers maintenance costs. Small chips of limestone are used to cover the asphalt - choking it from spraying vehicles or sticking to tires. The aggregate chips also restore surface friction for improved skid resistance and driver safety.
