Maintenance to extend the life of about 1.7 miles of Roseburg streets is underway.
A City of Roseburg release said the Public Works Department asks vehicle owners to remove their vehicles from street sections scheduled and posted for maintenance to allow crews to complete the work. “No parking” and “road closed” signs will be set out three days before each closure.
Contractors are applying slurry seals to sections of streets Wednesday and Thursday. Work is being performed from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day. Street sections should be finished within one day.
Slurry seals combine a thin layer of grave or aggregate with an asphalt emulsifier, and that is applied to a paved surface to help preserve and protect the underlying pavement structure and provide a new, smooth driving surface.
The release said residents who normally park their vehicles on streets scheduled for maintenance must remove those vehicles from the street before work starts so crews can apply the slurry seals. Any vehicles found on those streets after the scheduled start date will be towed as the owner’s expense.
The list of specific streets and which day they will have slurry seals applied is posted at www.541radio.com
