๐ŸŒง๏ธ Localized Flooding in Boone County ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

๐Ÿšง Do not drive around barriers
๐Ÿš— Turn around, donโ€™t drown
๐ŸŒŠ Just a few inches of moving water can be dangerous
๐Ÿ“ Give yourself extra time and choose alternate routes when needed

Flooded roadways can be deeper and more dangerous than they appear. Stay safe, Boone County! ๐Ÿ’™

Throughout June and July, contractors for Public Works will apply Reclamite to streets that were resurfaced with mill and overlay last year. Reclamite helps preserve asphalt pavement, extending roadway life and protecting the City's investment in recently improved streets.

Crews are starting on campus streets first (getting in before Summer Welcome events begin) and from there, will continue to downtown and residential streets.

๐Ÿ‘€ In these photos, you can see the difference between one half of a street that has just received Reclamite, and one half that has not yet been treated. The amber-brown appearance is temporary; after application, crews spread sand as a blotter to help absorb excess material. Weather and traffic will gradually return the street's appearance to normal.

๐Ÿšฆ Drivers should use caution when traveling through active work zones, watch for workers and equipment, and follow all instructions from flaggers directing traffic.

If you see temporary orange "No Parking" signs posted on your street, please follow the dates and times listed on the signs. A clear roadway is necessary for crews to complete the treatment, and vehicles parked in signed work zones may be ticketed or towed.

๐Ÿ“‹ For a full list of streets scheduled for Reclamite treatment, read the press release at CoMo.gov/CMS/pressreleases/view.php?id=9706.

Starting Monday, June 1, contractors for the City of Columbia Public Works department will begin applying Reclamite to 55 Columbia streets. Work will continue through June and July until all streets on the project list have been treated, weather permitting.

Reclamite is an asphalt rejuvenation treatment applied to streets that were mill and overlaid last year. The treatment helps preserve the pavement, extend roadway life and protect the Cityโ€™s investment in newly resurfaced streets.

Drivers, please use caution and reduce speeds near any work zone.
