Chip sealing work on several county roads will start Monday in an annual project that will continue through early August, Boulder County’s Transportation Maintenance Division officials announced Thursday.
The work is scheduled from about 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, and this year’s program is expected to last three weeks, weather permitting, officials said.
Officials said to aid in cycling safety and to help create a smoother ride, Boulder County uses a smaller chip size that creates a smoother surface and reduces wear and tear on bicycles.
Boulder County encouraged motorists and cyclists to avoid unnecessary travel on the affected roads on days that the chip application and sealing operations are taking place, since there may be travel delays.
