The City of Kingman’s Public Works Department will begin chip sealing operations on Friday, April 24, 2026, on Hualapai Mountain Road between Royal Vista Lane and South Schritter Way. Preparation for the chip seal operation will begin on Friday, April 24, with the actual chip seal application to occur on Monday, April 27 and Tuesday, April 28. Work will take place between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each day. Crews will begin at Royal Vista Lane and head east ending at South Schritter Way.
While work is underway, drivers should expect lane restrictions, reduced speed limits, and possible travel delays. Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes when available and follow all posted signage and traffic control devices. The City of Kingman reminds drivers of the importance of maintaining safe and smart driving habits in all work zones, and at all times, when operating a vehicle.
Chip sealing is a roadway maintenance treatment that helps extend the life of streets without the cost of full repaving. The process involves applying a thin coat of asphalt emulsion, followed by a layer of small gravel “chips” that are pressed into place. This method seals cracks, prevents water from damaging the pavement, improves skid resistance, and provides a fresh driving surface.
