Town Of Middlefield: Chip Sealing Roads – Starting 7/15

Press release from the Town of Middlefield:

June 25, 2021

The Middlefield Department of Public Works has scheduled to begin its annual program of chip sealing for the following roads:

The work has a tentative start date of July 15, 2021, which may be delayed due to weather conditions.   Minor delays in traffic are to be expected, so please plan accordingly.

On street parking will not be permitted.  Any vehicles which hamper the operation will be towed at the owner’s expense.  Also, do not allow any water to enter the roadway as this will cause the chip seal to fail prematurely.

After the application, there will be excess loose stone that can be a hazard to motorists if they exceed the temporary 15 M.P.H. speed limits that will be posted.  These speed limits will be in effect until the treatment has cured and the excess stone has been swept up by Public Works.

Check back for the latest information.  Your cooperation during this process is greatly appreciated.
