2023 Chip Seal Project

Update - September 15, 2023

Fog Coating for chip sealed streets should wrap up next week with street striping starting on Monday, September 18th.  

Update - August 16, 2023

Chip sealing operations are now complete. Starting Monday, August 21, 2023, crews will begin the fog coating process to finish the project. Crews will begin on the north side of Fruita and is expected to take a week to complete before moving to the south side of Fruita. The fog coat sealant takes about few hours to dry, and drivers need to take caution when driving on the roads to reduce the risk of tracking oil. 

Starting the week of July 24, 2023, the city will begin the chip sealing project in coordination with Mesa County. The community can expect a few minor traffic inconveniences. For example, minor amounts of dust, loose gravel, and one-way traffic during the operation. We recommend traveling at a reduced speed until all the loose gravel has been removed from the roadway. City maintenance crews will sweep excess gravel off the road in one to two working days. In approximately one week, the road will again have the texture of a paved road.

Crews will begin work on the north side of I-70 first and work will continue for two weeks. After the north side of I-70 is complete, crews will begin the process on the south side of I-70. Maps of work areas are listed below.
