10 Mar City of Yuma announces spring slurry, oil, and chip seal program, March 15
YUMA — The City’s next application of slurry seal, oil seal and chip seal begins Wednesday, March 15, and will impact a few major roadways in addition to a handful of area neighborhoods. Work is scheduled to last approximately one month.
The City’s Public Works department administers the slurry seal program, designed to add at least five years of life to the streets on which it is applied. Work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with some weekend work to minimize the impact to busier streets.
