City of Salina
On Monday through Friday, August 26th through 30th, APAC Shears of Salina will continue the City of Salina’s annual ultrathin bonded asphalt surface project. The schedule is as follows, weather permitting:
Motorists are urged to avoid work zones altogether or proceed with caution for the safety of the crews performing the work.
This type of preventative maintenance has been used to help extend the life of many roads around the State of Kansas. It consists of a thin, coarse aggregate hot mix over a special asphalt membrane similar to a chip seal but placed in one pass with a spray paver. The membrane prevents water intrusion and provides a superior bond to the old asphalt. The overlay can disperse water quickly off the surface, which reduces roadway spray from vehicles and provides greater visibility and traction in wet weather. UBAS has performed well for other cities and provides a good friction surface in wet weather.
The scheduled work mentioned above is the second installment of the City of Salina’s 2024 UBAS annual maintenance project. The full project cost of all installments totals $642,400.
