Clarington’s pavement crack sealing program is underway in Courtice and Bowmanville

Work has begun on various roads in Courtice and Bowmanville to seal pavement cracks with a flexible rubberized sealer to extend the life of our roads. This work is important and helps minimize the amount of moisture that gets under the pavement surface and slows the deterioration of the road surface, helping to prevent future potholes and heaves.

Work will take place Monday to Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., at various locations in Courtice and Bowmanville. As crews work their way down each street, residents may experience temporary delays accessing their driveway. These delays usually last 10 to 15 minutes, and crews will work with you if you need to get out of your driveway. Within a few days of the road work, a street sweeper will clean the road to remove grindings and dust.

To help protect the safety of workers, pedestrians, and motorists, drivers must proceed with caution in areas where road work is taking place and obey all traffic control measures and workers directing traffic.

This annual pavement crack-sealing program is essential to maintaining our infrastructure. It is part of our annual road maintenance program, which ensures that our roads, streets, and sidewalks are safe for community use. Thank you for your understanding and patience during road work.
