Nighttime paving to resurface sections of Southeast Pine Street starts next week, followed by repairs on Northwest Stewart Parkway the following week.

This work is being done to extend the life of both roadways.

A City of Roseburg release said a contractor will perform asphalt resurfacing work known as an asphalt grind/inlay, on about one thousand feet of Pine Street between Southeast Rice Avenue and Parrott Creek. During construction, work will be restricted to one lane controlled by flaggers at each end of the work zone. Road repairs will be performed from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Sunday July 16th through Thursday night or early Friday morning, according to the Public Works Department.

Work is being done overnight to minimize traffic disruptions and delays. However, drivers should expect minor delays.

The release said crews will remove at least two inches of existing roadway by grinding, then replace the old asphalt with new asphalt during an inlay. Repairs are expected to be finished on Pine Street after one more night of work on Sunday, July 23rd.

The contractor will then perform an asphalt grind/inlay on about nine hundred feet of Stewart Parkway from Northeast Stephens Street to Northeast Airport Road from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Monday, July 24th, through early morning on Friday July 28th.

Full closure will be allowed during Stewart Parkway maintenance and a detour route will be posted. Drivers will need to use alternate routes.

Money for the nearly $684,000 project will come from the city’s Transportation Fund. New striping and pavement markings will be added.
