Staff and contractors with the City of Roseburg are beginning a street maintenance project this week.

Slurry seals will be applied to sections of a number of streets starting on Wednesday. Work is expected to be finished in five business days. Street sections should be finished in one day. Slurry seals combine a thin layer of gravel or “aggregate” with an asphalt emulsifier and that is applied to a paved gravel surface to help preserve and protect the underlying pavement structure and provide a new, smooth driving surface.

Residents who normally park their vehicles on streets scheduled for maintenance must remove those vehicles from the street before work begins. Advance notice will be given to every residence prior to the scheduled start dates. Vehicles found on those streets after the scheduled start date will be towed at the owner’s expense.
