Project Information
- Location: Various roads in east and west county (see below)
- Schedule: July and August 2018 (see below)
- Funding Source: County General Roadway Funds
Project Description
Our crews spread oil over a paved road and then cover the oil with a thin layer of small gravel. After one to two working days, we sweep excess gravel off the road, and in about a week, it will again have the texture of pavement.
Chip sealing extends pavement life and reduces the frequency of thicker and more expensive asphalt overlays.
East County chip sealing will include:
- SE Division Drive, from Loop to 302nd
- SE Hurlburt Road, from HCRH to Littlepage
- SE Trout Creek Road, from Gordon Creek to dead end
West County chip sealing will include:
- NW Gillihan Road, from Milepost 2 to Reeder
- NW Elliott Road, from Rock Creek to Skyline

Work will usually begin around 7:30am. This schedule and the start time is subject to change depending on weather and other conditions.

Traffic Impacts
Minor amounts of dust, loose gravel, and one way traffic occur during the operation. We recommend traveling at a reduced speed until all the loose gravel has been removed from the roadway.
