About Clemmons Asphalt Maintenance LLC

Rushmore Road quiets down once the tourist season ends, and by the time the first real snow closes in on Rapid City the gateway stretch toward the monument carries more delivery trucks than sightseers, fog sitting low in the gaps between the hills at dawn. Clemmons Asphalt Maintenance works that corridor and the lots branching off it, plowing and salting the same pavement the crew patches and seals every summer, so the surface underneath the snow is one they already know block by block. Ice tends to form first in the shaded cuts where the road ducks between rock walls, and those spots get salted before the open stretches do. Parking lots along the route get pushed clean edge to edge for businesses that stay open through the off-season. By midmorning the fog has usually burned off and the road runs clear and dark all the way toward the hills. Service covers Rapid City and the stretch of Rushmore Road toward Keystone.
