Road Improvements

Road Improvements

Street improvements are performed by either applying a chip seal overcoat or by laying down RAP (recycled asphalt pavement) or completely reconstructing the road base material and asphalt overlay. The 2009 tax notes are currently funding these projects. For more information about road maintenance and improvements, download a copy of the Rockdale Street Maintenance Guide.
