GILA COUNTY – Gila County Public Works Roads Division will perform road improvement projects in May and June.
This road improvement project will consist of a chip seal on top of the existing pavement and a surface seal on top of the chip seal.
A chip seal consists of a petroleum-based binder that seals the existing pavement and a 3/8” aggregate, “chip” that will provide a new textured surface to drive on.
To ensure the success of this project, Gila County requests that all residents who live in the following areas scheduled for this year’s chip seal not have anything parked within any right-of-way from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the duration of this project. This includes but is not limited to, vehicles, boats, and trailers
This is to ensure that we can cover 100% of the paved area and avoid damaging anything parked too close to the construction site.
There will not be any road closures, but drivers should expect one-way traffic and/or temporary rerouting, small delays, flaggers, and traffic control.
The following are the scheduled areas and dates for the Gila County Roads Division 2024 chip seal:
