Marble Falls is tackling a problematic paving job on Manzano Mile, starting with resealing the asphalt to lock down the loose gravel.
As of Friday, March 21, the full length of Manzano Mile, from RR 1431 to Colt Elementary, has been fog sealed, a process that rejuvenates the existing asphalt and helps contain stray chunks of road that have reportedly been causing issues along the thoroughfare.
“(The fog seal) is the best application that you can come across to hopefully get everything back to where it needs to be,” Marble Falls Public Works Director James Kennedy told the City Council on Tuesday.
Lone Star Paving, which did the original work on Manzano Mile, was brought back for the fog sealing job in mid-March. According to Mayor Pro-tem Craig Magerkurth, more work needs to be done to address patches of bare base asphalt along the road.
“(The original paving) didn’t perform as it should have initially,” Magerkurth told DailyTrib.com. “The rocks weren’t adhering and they were coming up. You could see where people’s tires were going and damaging the road. There will likely be more work done to fix the spots where gravel did not adhere.”
Magerkurth said the city had received complaints from residents about the condition of Manzano Mile, which in part led to the recent work. DailyTrib.com was also made aware of the loose gravel, which reportedly was being kicked up by tires and pelting other vehicles and pedestrians.
