As the City of Lynnwood continues to grow, the wear and tear on our roads also increases. Our roads are the City’s single largest asset. Chip sealing (or Bituminous Surface Treatment) is a key part of the City’s preservation program to maximize the life of our roads.
Cities and counties across the country use this as a method of pavement preservation. This process was successful in the past on various roads through-out the City (i.e. 46th Ave W, 212th St. SW, etc.). New technology and better mix designs have improved chip sealing products. This has minimized its impacts and maximized its effectiveness. The treatment extends the life of each road by seven to ten years. It provides a new sealed surface, at a fraction of the cost of an asphalt overlay.
Lynnwood thanks you for your support of our streets. We are working hard to use your tax dollars in the most efficient and effective way. We realize chip seal construction process might create some inconvenience. When the work is complete, City roads will be safer and better-maintained.
