Stratton Parish Council has been informed by Dorset Council that micro-surfacing is underway on residential roads across Dorset.
Dorset Highways’ contractor Colas Ltd is carrying out the programme of works, which will seal and protect the road from water damage. Micro-surfacing is a cost-effective treatment for worn, but not structurally failing, roads. Carrying out this repair now will avoid the need for costly resurfacing or reconstruction works.
The treatment is laid over the top of the old surface and is made up of two layers – one layer to regulate out minor dips and bumps in the road, and the second provides a robust surface course.
Due to the large equipment and number of vehicles used to carry out the work, roads will need to be closed for the treatment to be carried out.
Roads will be closed 7am to 5pm with a locally signed diversion route and a gateman posted at the closure to address any queries.
- Please look for advance notice signs with specific dates and times at the location of the works, dates can change in the case of bad weather
- Vehicles will need to be moved off the road for the work to be carried out
- Please do not drive on the road until the signs and cones have been removed
- Road surfaces will be swept to clear loose stone soon after treatment
- White lines will be replaced around a week after the work
- Any drain covers that are too low following the surfacing will be raised within a month after the work
Work started on 22 March and, weather permitting, will be finished by 28 April. These works are weather dependent and dates may be subject to change, local advance notice signs will be kept updated.
