Recent road work in Jefferson City has received mixed reviews – from both residents driving on the new surface and the County Road Department itself.
The road work was performed in August of this year, and affected Wickes Road, Corbin Road, Jefferson and Spring Streets, and Depot Road in Jefferson City. County Roads Superintendent Bear Taylor told The Monitor before the work began that he was excited about using a new surfacing product called “Dustpods,” a polymer aggregate material that promised less maintenance than standard chip seal surfaces.
Taylor admits some local drivers have expressed displeasure with the new surface. “The county did receive phone calls and emails with concerns about the work that was done on Corbin Road,” Taylor told The Monitor this week.
