The purpose of fog sealing is to rejuvenate the roadway by adding the naturally occurring oils back into the roadway that have oxidized out of the pavement.  This adds life to the pavement and allows it to perform better and be more flexible.

Please be advised that there may be up to 20 minute delays.  Flaggers will be directing traffic.  Slow down and watch for highway workers.

When approaching the construction zone the traveling public is advised to reduce their speed, observe the construction signs, and watch for construction personnel and equipment.
