Maintenance to extend the life of over 2.5 miles of southeastern Roseburg streets is set to begin next Wednesday, September 3rd, weather permitting.
A city release said the Roseburg Public Works Department asks vehicle owners to be sure 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 up three days before each closure
Contractors have been hired to apply slurry seals on street sections from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on September 3rd and 4th. Weather delays postponed work that was originally scheduled for late August.
The release said slurry seals combine a thin layer of gravel or “aggregate” with an asphalt emulsifier, which is applied to a paved surface to help preserve and protect the underlying pavement structure, and provide a new driving surface.
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. Advance notice will be given to every residence prior to the scheduled start dates. Vehicles found on those streets after scheduled start dates will be towed at the owner’s expense.
