Yeah, we get the same thing here. They also pour tar on the road then drop gravel on it. What a freaking mess that is. I try to stay off those roads for at least a week until all the gravel is worn off.

One of the best roads in Arkansas is getting chipsealed next week. That would be hwy 7, a great ride but I will stay off 'til the chipseal is really sealed. Penny

What this means to me: The bike gets parked, until they get done with this .
I'd rather have tar al over the Jeep, than my RT...

You'd be Tar and Feathered

They do this in Utah too. Nasty stuff. Takes a week or two until enough cars have gone over it to really seal it down. I hate it,that and tar snakes.

I think with the high cost of resurfacing you seem to see more of the crack filling and sealing. Out this way, parking lots too.

Tar snakes are a common road hazard here. It is a cheaper alternative to a re-pave job, but the results are much better with the re-pave.
Here, it takes forever for them to do the re-pave. The contractors stake their claim to the job by tearing up the old surface, leaving it gravel, or grooving it. Then it sits for a couple months before the job gets completed. The Old Glenn Highway out of Palmer has been torn up since June. An assorted mess for fifty miles or so. This is the highway that most come in on when they leave the Alcan Highway and cross into Tok. It was still a PIA to drive on last Saturday. Of course, its one of our "scenic ride" areas.
They have about six weeks before the freeze and snow comes.
NtA group: It is going to snow in Denali tomorrow. Common around the first of September.

They just chip sealed my whole neighborhood and a bunch of local roads in my area. My brother went down on his Harley last weekend on one of those roads.

Every summer, all summer, here in WI. It sucks, but it's better than having the suspension torn off your vehicle in January when the frost is heaving everything. Horse a piece I guess.

That's great news, maybe now we'll be able to see the tops of those mountains.

You know the old joke - in Wisconsin we have two seasons, winter and road repair. They are tarring all the roads up here in the north west part of the state now as well.
