Chip and seal work to begin in Baldwin City August 11th

Chip and seal work is set to begin on the streets west of 8th Street and north of High Street on Monday, August 11th. Work is expected to take a few days to complete.

Bettis Asphalt is the contractor in charge, and will be placing door hangers with information regarding street closing in affected neighborhoods.

This year, work will focus on some of the oldest streets in town, to the west of 8th Street and north of High Street. Streets to be resurfaced with double lift chip and seal include:

• 10th Street, from High to Ames
• 9th Street, from Dearborn to Ames (non-brick section)
• 7th Street blocks from Dearborn to Chapel and Baker to Ames
• Baker Street, from 6th to 10th
• Chapel Street, from 6th past 10th to the end of the street
• Dearborn Street, between 9th & 10th only
• Elm Street, from 8th to 10th
• Fremont Street, between 9th & 10th only
• Grove Street, from 8th past 10th to the end of the street

The Golf Course parking lot and driveway will also receive chip and seal this year.

All streets and the Golf Course parking lot will be sealed with two separate "lifts," or applications. Once that's completed, the crew will lightly sweep excess product. Bettis Asphalt will return in about 30 days to sweep up excess product again, after roads have been driven on to help pack it down.
