The City of Dundas is set to conduct several road repair projects this year, and it is implementing a new system.
Traditionally, Dundas, like most cities, has maintained a regular seal coating for roads in the town. Seal Coating is a process of applying a protective coating to the road to provide a layer of protection from the weather and elements. This new process, called Reclamite, was proposed by the city’s engineer as an alternative. Here’s City Administrator Jenelle Teppen:
“Reclamite is a rejuvenator that absorbs into the pavement, making the pavement flexible and preventing it from drying out.” – Jenelle Teppen, Dundas City Administrator on the KYMN Morning Show
Teppen noted that the new process is approximately one-third the cost of seal coating and extends the road’s life for about 5 to 7 years. Relaimite projects are set to take place this summer on:
Forest Avenue
Depot Street
Hester Street
Bridgewater Parkway
Tower Avenue
Cedar Lane
Bluff Street
Cross Circle
Highland Parkway
The other major project Dundas is set to undertake this summer is the addition of a water main line along Dundas Boulevard/County Road 78. The new water line would provide a backup option to the Stoneridge and Millstone Developments in Dundas. City staff are planning a pre-construction meeting to take place prior to the project’s commencement. Will keep you posted when we have a project timeline.
