Resurfacing????? Aren’t those roads almost new, and never exposed to snow, ice, road salt, and plows. If properly paved the first time shouldn’t they last many many years?

[Hardlyworking]

Not resurfacing, more like a sprayed on treatment that does make a huge mess.

Wonder how long the original guarantee was for? Reminds me of the windmill by Brownville

They are re-sealing the asphalt to extend the life. Makes a horrible mess for a week or two.

Happens all over TV.

It is a preservative. Not re-surfacing. Been doing it for the last several years. It is messy. But eventually the mess goes away. Including the tracks on your driveway.

Wonder if they told the locals what they would be dealing with?

[New Englander]

They did that coating on the streets where I live. Some people drove on the roads right away leaving tracks. I didn't move my car out of the garage for a day and a half and had no problem.

[Marathon Man]

They will be doing my street soon. Got the knock on the door and the door hanger with the warning last week. Same as in my old neighborhood a few years back.
Yes. People are told.

Oh my, no failure to bitch about?

Yes...

2 weeks ago, flyers were placed on our doors indicating roads would be treated on Tuesday, Sept 6.

Alas, only a few streets were done by Magnolia Plaza before the equipment broke down.

On Sunday, we were informed that our streets off Spurlock would be done, today, Sept 12.

They were.

Many of use parked at Edna's during the day, and stayed off the streets for a few hours.

I warned our neighbors to be ready. Some parked their cars at Edna's, or parked their golf carts close by Edna's so streets did not need to be used.

It was suggested to stay off the roads for 48 hours to reduce tracking the muck.

Also suggested to stay off driveways for two days.

Thank you for explaining.

The daily rains help wash it off but the runoff can't be good for critters in the ponds.

Obviously someone didn’t get the message that the Wet Prairie area was having wet prairie sealer applied to their buggy trails…

you made me almost spit my coffee in a fit of laughter. yes,...very true :BigApplause:

[defrey12]

Quit bitching. It’s temporary. Deal with it!

[JHDurden]

It’s not resurfacing but extending the life of the black top. It’s some kind of sealant to extend the life of the surface. It gets on tires and leaves them brown. I tried everything to get the ‘finish’ off my new Cooper’s tires. Finally took it to the truck wash in Wildwood and had them acid washed; it helped some but I still have dingy tires on my new vehicle. With the warning of these treatments should be details of what to do about the nasty staining it leaves on surrounding areas and items🤨

A real first world problem.

Enjoy the beauty of the day and your luck at being where you are.

Suntan lotion for asphalt.

[MillerD]

Yes, they should. A lot of truck traffic for months will tear them up. Asphalt thickness determined by traffic type. The construction S of 44 is just ridiculous greed.

[graciegirl]

"They" don't need our permission.

This isn't how it works here anyways. This is a CDD. Not exactly like a regular government, but so far, so good.

[rogerk]

As the AD used to say, "Pay me now or pay me later.". This treatment ads years to the life of the life of the roads. Prevention will save us money in the future. Talk to the Wildwood road department.

Really?

With +100 new homes with happy buyers, built & sold a week, creating an economy generating over two billion in revenue with over 20,000 hard working, tax paying employees - isn't America great!

Oops at least I got the first syllable correct:a040:

Who ya bashing?

[Vermilion Villager]

I am in Marsh Bend. A little messy and you could smell the oil, but then it rained. Can't even tell they were here. :mornincoffee:

I would have stopped on the first step.

Just amazing how far some people will stretch to throw out a "greedy developer" comment.

[Carlsondm]

I agree. This place was beautiful and now it looks like s**t. Family is arriving tomorrow too, and yes, they were coming to check the place out and buy. Will be interesting.

If permissible by the project owner, you would have to read :read:the executed contract between the contractor(s) and owner(s) of the construction project to find the correct answer.

If a performance bond was required it would guarantee that the contractor(s) complete the construction work on time, within budget, and according to construction contract(s) specifications. A labor & material payment bond, if required, ensures that the contractor(s) pays all laborers for their services before they leave the job site.
