MMD Newswire: Press Release News Wire

(MMD Newswire) July 24, 2009 -- The makers of Road Smoothie have come up with a plan to save roads and budgets. The custom-made neoprene and space-aged polymer Smoothie that attaches to any size, shape, or surface is designed to sit atop manhole covers that are below original grade due to poor settling or repaving. While installing a Road Smoothie is one-third the cost of raising a manhole, some smaller municipalities are still finding it difficult to juggle their budgets and repair streets using a Smoothie solution. In response to that obstacle, Road Smoothie has introduced the SmoothTalker.

Made from the same materials, the SmoothTalker can depict virtually any logo or message, allowing smaller towns and even larger cities to offer certain vendors space on the road. State universities and cities with pro athletic teams are even getting involved to help make roads safer for drivers.

"We have found that it is an excellent solution to some small towns and even major cities problem streets," said John Kelley president of AdPro, Road Smoothie parent company. "It eliminates the road hazard for drivers and allows local cities, utility companies, sports teams, events and companies to market while doing something productive and positive for the city they live in."

Made from at least 50% recycled used tires, Road Smoothies are designed to withstand high traffic volume, snowplows, salt and chemicals and are temperature rated for -45º to 212ºF. Successfully installed in fifteen states to date, these special manhole covers have a 5-year warrantee.
