*Please note CBC have to advertise a route that matches the highways standards of the road to be closed. This includes weight and speed limits (so its not always a case of just showing the quickest alternative as not all vehicles can follow suit).

*Retexturing – Roads can sometimes lose their anti-skid properties due to years of use, which results in potentially dangerous road surfaces. To resolve this issue, road surface retexturing can restore roads to a safe and practical surface.

Using the right technique for retexturing roads is crucial to reduce the down-time of roads and to also make sure that no unwanted damage is inflicted to the road or surrounding areas. helping to restore roads to their former quality and improve safety for those using the road.

Restoring it back to the clean, anti-skid surface that it used to be.

This technique of road surface retexturing helps to not only improve the surface of the roads, but also cut down on any unnecessary expenditure. This is because the method of using water jets requires far less maintenance and repair work, meaning that roads can be retextured much quicker than alternative methods would be able to do.

Any white lining affected will be replaced.
