The project is likely to include the application of micro-asphalt, a mixture of bitumen emulsion, small aggregate and cement. 

It is a dual application process, with the first application regulating the existing surface and the second application giving the final surface. 

This treatment will seal the surface, improve surface texture and prolong the life of the road for many years.

Once laid, the material will remain wet for 15 - 30 minutes depending on the temperature and humidity.

 When first laid the material is brown in colour and as it sets it turns to a dark grey/black. 

Vehicles can generally run on the surface within 30 minutes of the treatment being completed, though it may take longer for the material to set depending on the weather conditions.

Says the council: "To allow the works to be completed and to ensure the safety of those completing the works, a full road closure will be in place between 7.30am and 6pm each day. 

"Works may not take the full day to complete, depending on the length of the street, but once complete, the road will be reopened as soon as possible.

"Please support the contractor, Kiely Bros,  by not parking vehicles on the carriageway or footpath in the works location to ensure a safe working area can be maintained and to avoid delaying the works.

"To avoid the build-up of loose materials on the highway, the contractor will return to sweep up loose materials after a few days. 

"People are asked to move their vehicles from the road if they see the road sweeper return to allow as much excess material to be collected as possible."
