Summer street maintenance starts next week

ROSEBURG, Ore. – Maintenance to extend the life of about 3.3 miles of Roseburg streets is set to begin next week, weather permitting.

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 out three days before each closure.

The Public Works Department has hired contractors to apply slurry seals to sections of street starting Thursday, Aug. 8. The work will be performed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is expected to be finished Thursday, Aug. 22.

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, smooth driving surface.

All service providers including waste disposal, the U.S. Post Office, package delivery services, etc., have been notified and given road maintenance schedules so they can work around the schedule. Emergency responders will have complete access even when residents can’t use certain roads, according to Public Works Department staff.

“Public Works appreciates your patience with this project,” said Roseburg Design/Construction Manager Ryan Herinckx. “Applying a slurry seal is a great way to keep good pavement in good condition and prevent expensive repairs in the future.”

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 scheduled start dates. Unfortunately, any vehicles found on those streets after the scheduled start date will be towed at the owner’s expense.
