Knowsley Lane – Carriageway Surface Dressing

Knowsley Lane – Carriageway Surface Dressing

KMBC Highways team write to inform you of a surface dressing scheme due to take place on the below dates. This treatment is highly cost-effective and quick to apply, whilst offering a lower carbon footprint. The treatment will remove minor dips, seal the surface of the road, and restore grip. Once bedded-in and weathered, the new surface will look like any other road.

To deliver the works safely we need to close Knowsley Lane on two separate occasions – details below.

Phase 1 – Sunday 20^th August 2023 – Application of the surface dressing (bitumen emulsion and chippings)

Phase 2 – Sunday 3^rd September 2023 – Application of ‘Kiely Lock’ – (to lock the chippings in place)

In order to deliver the works safely we need to closed the road between Radway Road and Stockbridge Lane, local diversions will be in place. You may receive complaints from residents about loose chippings – this is completely normal and part of the embedment process, adhering to the temporary 20MPH speed limit will reduce this. I welcome you to watch the below video which explains in detail the surface dressing process.
