What's with all the oil and chip work on PA state highways this year?   Many such projects in Chester County in 2023.

I don't remember this type of work being done in PA since I moved here 30+ years ago.

PS - PennDOT FINALLY repaved PA345 in Chester County between 401 and 23.   It had become a pothole navigation course and numerous reports to PennDot resulted in that awful spray patch technique which, of course, did nothing to help.

There were a bunch in Allegheny County this year as well.  It involved a bunch of major roads that were connected to each other.

I thought that my rental car back in May got a chip on the windshield from one on PA 528 between I-79 and PA 68, but the rental car company showed that it was already there before I picked it up when I turned on the car back in.

A bunch of roads in the northwest of Lebanon County were oil-and-chipped as well (Ono Rd, Heilmandale Rd, Thompson Ave, etc.). How long does it typically take them to stripe a road after oil-and-chipping it? It's been almost two months and none of these roads have been striped yet.
Mileage-based exit numbering implies the existence of mileage-cringe exit numbering.

Mr. Matté

There's a random QR in the Yardley/Newtown area that was chipsealed recently though it was previously asphalt surface before and I don't recall being in particularly bad shape. When I'm out that way, I'm on my bike, but I expect chipseal on the random municipal and county roads of Hunterdon County or Hopewell Township, not of roads south of the fall line.

wilbur_the_goose

The chipped roads are quite a bit noisier, both when in the car and not.   

I hope this doesn't go down as another crazy idea like the 3' wide strips that were dug-out and repaved.   Those never worked - big potholes along the edges.
