Maintenance to extend the life of about 2.6 miles of Roseburg streets has been postponed from late August until September, due to weather issues.

A city release said the contractor hired to perform slurry seals on streets this month contacted staff on Wednesday to postpone the work after rain delays on other, unrelated projects forced them to push back start dates.

Slurry seals in southeastern Roseburg that had been scheduled for late this month, are now postponed until sometime after Labor Day, according to Public Works Director Ryan Herinckx.

Road maintenance is always weather-dependent. New dates have not been determined yet.

Slurry seals combine a thin layer of gravel 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 driving surface.
