Town Road Improvement ProjectBurning Platform • Roads are the Town’s most important infrastructure asset. • Important to residents, seasonal owners and visitors. • Budget makes it impossible to adequately maintain. • Able to patch / repair for routine wear & tear only. • Emergent major repairs & heavy industrial use (logging) strain our abilities. • Most common complaint from electors is “roads……” • Failure to act will just delay the inevitable…and it may cost more in the future.

  9. Town Roads What you should know! • Road Materials: • Asphalt • Average Life span of an asphalt road without maintenance is 16 years to total failure. • With regular maintenance and repair, it can be extended to 30 years or more. • Asphalt is applied over the top of gravel, usually in two layers. The typical finished thickness is 3 ½”. • Chip Seal • Chip seal was originally designed as a cost effective asphalt maintenance surface not necessarily a stand alone road surface. • A chip seal surface is applied to a gravel base to provide a wearing surface and dust free environment.
