North East Lincolnshire's roads need beauty treatment to restore 'essential oils' and delay ageing

                                                            

Fieldhouse Road in Humberston is one of those that will be closed temporarily 

SURFACE  treatments on some roads in North East Lincolnshire on Sunday 23 August and Monday 24 August.

The work forms part of the council’s e approach to road maintenance- helping to protect road surfaces, extend their lifespan and reduce the likelihood of potholes and cracks developing.

The works are scheduled as follows:

* A16 Peaks Parkway, between Low Farm Roundabout and Weelsby Road - Sunday 23 August, 7am to 11am

* A16 Louth Road, between Low Farm Roundabout and Becklands Roundabout - Sunday 23 August, 11am to 3pm

* A1098 Hewitts Avenue, between Low Farm Roundabout and Peaks Lane - Sunday 23 August, 3pm to 7pm

* Fieldhouse Road, Humberston - Monday 24 August, 9.30am to 3.30pm

The work involves a specialist 'rejuvenation treatment' which aims to restore 'essential oils' within the asphalt.

The treatment is sprayed onto the road surface where it penetrates the aged asphalt and helps maintain its condition for longer. 

A fine grit is then applied to improve skid resistance and absorb any excess material.

The process is quick and efficient, allowing roads to reopen shortly after treatment has been completed.

Temporary road closures will be in place while the work is carried out. Pavements will remain open and access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

The programme is weather-dependent, and dates or times may change at short notice if conditions are unsuitable.

NELC has not revealed the chemical make-up of the 'essential oils'.
