This maintenance effort aims to protect the road network, improve driving conditions, and extend the lifespan of well-maintained routes. Surface dressing is a proven technique involving the application of a bitumen layer followed by a coating of stone chippings, which is then compacted by rolling. This process seals the road surface, boosts skid resistance, and prevents water infiltration — a key factor in reducing pothole formation.
