DPW shares a crack sealing video - one step in a road maintenance process

"Yeah black squiggly lines!

This is called “crack sealing!” It is the most cost-effective way to extend the life of a roadway if done at the right time.

Everybody knows about potholes, and how they form; you get a crack in the road water gets in there, freezes, and next thing you know, the asphalt breaks apart. This simple procedure sprays a liquid emulsion asphalt into the crack so pothole does not form in the winter months.

Have an excellent Public Works day!"

In 2014, kids in the neighborhood (I assume whether big or little, or both) made a mosaic of the crack seal painted on Blueberry Lane. Additional photos ->    https://www.franklinmatters.org/2014/06/give-us-crack-seal-well-make-mosaic.html
