Pine Street, Stewart Parkway repairs to start

ROSEBURG, Ore. – Night paving to resurface sections of Pine Street starts next week, followed by repairs on Stewart Parkway the following week to extend the life of both roadways.

A contractor will perform asphalt resurfacing work known as an asphalt grind/inlay on about 1,000 feet of SE Pine Street between Rice Avenue and Parrott Creek. During construction, traffic will be restricted to one lane controlled by flaggers at each end of the work zone as road repairs are performed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday, July 16, through Thursday night/early Friday morning, according to the Roseburg Public Works Department.

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

Crews will remove at least 2 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 23.

The contractor will then perform an asphalt grind/inlay on about 900 feet of Stewart Parkway from NE Stephens Street to Airport Road from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday, July 24, through early morning Friday, July 28.

Full closure will be allowed during Stewart Parkway maintenance and a detour route will be posted. Drivers will need to use alternate routes. First responders will have full access if needed.

Money for the $683,784 project will come from the City’s Transportation Fund. New striping and pavement markings will be added.

The Roseburg Public Works Department asks drivers to use caution when traveling through the work zones. The City appreciates motorists’ understanding and patience.
