Micro Surfacing

Micro Surfacing is excellent for maintaining scenic routes.

It's helping preserve the byway through the Appomattox Courthouse historic area.

Micro Surfacing is a continuous feed operation.

Many miles can be improved in a short time with minimal impact to motorists.

Micro Surfacing helps improve safety on Interstate 81.

It's also been used successfully by various DOTs around the country.

Micro Surfacing can be applied at night.

This ability makes it easier to improve heavily trafficked routes.

Micro Surfacing is successfully used everywhere.

It's proven its value on everything from Interstates to highways to HOV lanes to byways.

Preserving roads and the environment

Micro surfacing is an economical, polymer- modified, cold-mix paving system that utilizes carefully selected materials, detailed design parameters and advanced technical specifications to create one of the most advanced (and eco-friendly) surface treatments available today.

Micro's ability to be placed in layers makes it effective at correcting a broad range of surface issues on residential streets, highways and airfields while it provides added friction, skid-resistance and safety. In fact, micro surfacing has been used successfully in Virginia and around the nation to help reduce accidents along historically accident-prone stretches of highway. A 20 year study by the Minnesota Department of Transportation showed a massive 76% reduction in accidents on bridges and overpasses.

Micro surfacing is ideal for:

High volume secondary routes

Primary routes

Some Interstates

Micro surfacing's unique benefits include:

• Can correct rutting and other irregularities

• Can be applied at night

• Extremely eco-friendly

• Provides increased skid resistance

• Extends road life by 7+ years
