8. 2008 Seal Coat Area

The 2008 Seal Coat Program is located in three (3) main areas of Cottage Grove.

            AREA – 1        West Draw Area; north of 80th Street and west of Hardwood                                   Avenue.

            AREA – 2        Old Town Area; north of 77th Street and east of Lamar Avenue.

            AREA – 3        Pine Coulee Area; south of TH 61.

Seal coating is a common preventive maintenance activity in Minnesota performed by most cities, counties, and Mn/Dot districts.

The primary reason to seal coat a bituminous pavement is to protect the pavement from the deteriorating effects of sun and water. When the pavement is exposed to sun, wind and water, the bituminous hardens, causing the pavement to become more brittle. As a result, the pavement will crack because it is unable to bend and flex when exposed to traffic and temperature changes. A seal coat combats this situation by providing a waterproof membrane which not only slows down the hardening process but also helps the pavement to shed water, preventing it from entering the gravel sub-base material.

Construction Updates:

Start date for project is July 11, 2008 and completion is anticipated to be July 29, 2008 (weather dependant).
