Read More2019-12-30 Chip seal roads are formed by pouring a mixture of bitumen, asphalt or hot tar over an existing road, then adding fine aggregate into the base. Once the aggregate is spread evenly throughout the pavement, heavy rubber tyred rollers are used to pulverize it into the mixture, forming a paved road.
