Chip seal is a pavement surface treatment that combines one or more layers of asphalt with one or more layers of fine aggregate. The Gbarnga Pavement, Superintendent Mappy noted is a pilot of the FRAMP project in Liberia and will affect four counties. Bong County has an obligation to build a line of over 280 culverts along with the earth works in the tune, which will cost the county a little over 180 thousand US Dollars. Currently, the county is paving more than two kilometers of streets in Gbarnga.
