Douglas County Public Works Department will begin a road improvement project on Tuesday June 27th.

Along with contractor Pave Northwest, crews plan to begin applying a slurry sealant to three separate locations on county roads just outside of Roseburg. Work will continue through that Thursday June 29th. Slurry seal work is typically performed from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. depending on the weather and material availability.

Impacted roads include:

*Near the Umpqua Community College campus off of Umpqua College Road: This will include Songbird Court, Live Oak Court, Chinkapin Court and North River Drive

*Off Garden Valley Road: This area is just past the Roseburg Country Club and near the North Umpqua River. This will include Osage Drive and Cherokee Avenue

*Off Garden Valley Road: This is near Melrose Road on Palomino Avenue

During the slurry seal application process, designated streets in the area will be closed to vehicles for on street parking. Some may have temporary driving restrictions in place.
“No Parking” signs will be placed on the affected roads/streets up to forty-eight hours prior to work being conducted on the road. The posted “No Parking” hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The public will be able to access streets for limited driving and foot traffic. Residents and businesses in the area should receive notices forty-eight hours in advance of the planned slurry seal project and projected dates for roadways or streets adjacent to the homes or businesses.
