Highway Department: Maintenance Schedule

The Peoria County Highway Department utilizes seal coating and tilling to maintain Peoria County Highways. Additionally, local townships and municipalities utilize the Department's services for seal coating and tilling.

Tilling is a process of grinding and mixing the existing road surface and base. Additional gravel is then added to the existing material and all of the materials are compacted and graded. The process takes several days and traffic is also used to help compact the gravel. Once the gravel is compacted, the road is graded one more time, and seal coating of the road occurs.

Listed below is the tentative schedule of roads that will be seal coated in the following week. Please be aware that weather and other factors greatly affect the seal coating schedule. This schedule is tentative and can be adjusted with little notice.

Also listed below are roads that have been tilled or are about to be tilled. These roads will be removed once they have been seal coated.

ALL SEALCOATING AND TILLING WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED FOR 2011. WORK WILL RESUME AGAIN IN THE SPRING OF 2012.
