The Pierre Street Department plans to begin its fog seal operation today (Sept. 12, 2022) on over 100 blocks of city roadways.
Motorists should expect minor short-term parking and traffic restrictions in the impacted areas during the operation. The streets will be signed until the restrictions lift. During the treatment process, a liquid is sprayed on the street. Once that liquid has dried, the street is open for business.
Fog sealing places a final protective layer on the street to lock in newly laid chip surfaces and lock out moisture. The maintenance technique preserves streets by mitigating weather-related damage and improving skid resistance.
The fog sealing work in Pierre is expected to wrap up by the end of September.
The city maintains more than 80 miles of streets.
