When the first part of the works were done there were some significant (15-20 minutes) delays getting to or from Tregony to Reskivers.
Tregony to Reskivers and Trevorva to Freewater road resurfacing will take place on Friday 12th between 7.30am and 5pm.
Following the laying of conventional surface dressing, a layer of LockChip bitumen coating is applied to fully seal the highway. The innovative binder sits within the macro-texture of the chips in the new surface. This application significantly improves the early life retention of the chips in all areas of the dressing. Providing waterproofing and increased durability to prevent defects, cracks, and potholes. LockChip binder also enhances the appearance of the new surface to a deep, uniform black which is comparative to a new asphalt surface. Another major benefit of this sealed surface dressing for repairs is that the coating cures in 20 minutes, enabling the carriageway to be reopened quickly. On busy road networks with high levels of traffic this helps to minimise disruption to the public.
