UPDATE ( 05-12-2012): We have just completed application of the primer oil on the road. This is nasty stuff that we hate to use but it's very necessary. Without it the final layer of emulsion and rock will not stick to the road base and will only peel up.
The primer must dry for a couple of days and then we can finish the road with the final topping. Until then, if you do not want oil on your vehicle, you MUST drive under 5 miles per hour. We drive white trucks in this stuff in on a regular basis and do not have any problems. The faster you go, the more you will get on your vehicle so we suggest you stay below 5mph. If you do get the primer on your vehicle it can be removed with WD-40 and a rag, or diesel fuel and a rag. Please note . . . the county does NOT pay for vehicle cleaning.
We are currently planning on putting the final top on the road Wednesday morning (05-23-2012). After that the ordeal is over and you'll have a brand new road.
Thank you for your patience. |
| County Road 617 |
We have begun to rebuild County Road 617 from FM 917 south. Our goal is to completely rebuild 1.3 miles of the road but, Murphy's Law took over and our very expensive road reclaimer broke a primary shaft and destroyed two large bearings. Parts are ordered and we hope to have it repaired and back in service as soon as possible. Until then, we are renting a reclaimer to fill in for a month and we expect to be back working on the road in the next few days.
So far it appears that the existing road does not have enough road base under it so we expect to have to haul in numerous truck loads of base to build a good subgrade. This will add to the completion time, but we are building it correctly.
Keep checking back here for updates.
Expect traffic in that area to be slow with occasional delays. The project should take several weeks to complete.
Thanks for your patience. |
