 part of the Town of Easton’s ongoing pavement management program, the installation of rubber chip seal is scheduled for Monday June 14th.   Motorists should expect delays and seek alternate routes during this time.  Police Details will be on scene to assist
 and direct traffic through and around the work zones.  The rubber chip seal process involves the installation of a layer of stone chips embedded in asphalt.  This will not be the final surface of the road.  The second treatment, which will follow in the coming
 weeks, will be a conventional warm mix asphalt overlay.  The purpose of the rubber chip seal is to help decelerate reflective cracking and provide for a longer asphalt surface life.  Residents should be aware that until the final asphalt surface is applied
 there will be some loose stone present from the rubber chip seal application.  This is normal and the DPW will sweep the roadway periodically to reduce the volume of loose stone until the final asphalt surface can be applied.  These two treatments combined
 will provide a new wearing surface and significantly extend the life of the road.  After the installation of both treatments the DPW will be paving new driveway transitions as needed in the following weeks.  Please be advised that the dates referenced are
 subject to delays from weather.  Thank you for your patience as we make improvements to the Town of Easton’s roadways.  If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Public Works at (508) 230-0800 or

 The project also includes drainage upgrades, a new water main, and new pavement markings and signs. Drivers who are traveling through the affected areas should expect delays, reduce speed, and use caution. Please visit
