Wait until the EPA 'dust regulations' take effect, and they will need to coat or tar all the gravel roads to comply....

So much for any savings....

Now, what are the 'savings' of taking a tar road & returning it to a gravel road? I heard a couple years ago tar was kinda expensive, are they selling off the millings and this is the 'savings' they have?

Gravel needs a grader & replacement gravel about every year, tar road doesn't need much for 10 years, then just crack sealer every 3 years or so. Perhaps a skim coat every 20 years or so. When rebuilding, just grind up the tar there, remelt it, and relay it - not terrible expensive don't need new materials. Seems if it's already tar, it's cheaper to leave it tar. The expense is in getting it layered down the first time.
