GILA COUNTY—Gila County Public Works Road improvement projects in May will consist of a chip seal on top of the existing pavement, followed by 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 this project’s success, Gila County requests that all residents in the following areas scheduled for this year’s chip seal not have anything parked within any right-of-way.
This includes, but is not limited to, vehicles, boats, and trailers from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the duration of this project.
This ensures 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, minor delays, flaggers, and traffic control.
The following is the scheduled areas and dates for the Gila County Roads Division 2025 chipseal in southern Gila County:
Globe: Monday, May 12 – Thursday, May 15
Wheatfields Road
Hix Drive
Hoopes Drive
Quail Ridge
