Slurry seal work starts this week on a number of streets in the City of Roseburg.

A City release said the maintenance will extend the life of just over two miles of streets.

Vehicle owners must remove their vehicles from street sections scheduled and posted for maintenance to allow crews to complete the work.

The Public Works Department has hired contractors to apply the slurry seals to sections of streets between Thursday and Saturday. Each section should be completed the same day.

The release said slurry seals combine a thin layer of aggregate with an asphalt emulsifier, that is applied to a paved surface to preserve and protect the underlying pavement structure and provide a new, smooth driving surface.

“No parking” and “road closed” signs will be set out three days before each closure. Roads in neighborhoods accessible from Parker Road south of Newton Creek Road will have limited access on Friday. Parking will only be available on Newton Creek Road for up to eight hours that day, while nearby streets are slurry sealed.

All the roads in the work areas will be slurry sealed in one day to minimize disruption to residents. All service providers have been notified and given road maintenance schedules so they can work around the maintenance schedule.

Residents who normally park their vehicles on streets scheduled for maintenance must remove those vehicles before work starts so crews can apply the slurry seals. Any vehicles found on those streets after the scheduled start date will be towed at the owner’s expense.

Work will take place in several sections of Roseburg. The full schedule with the specific streets is posted with this story at www.541radio.com
