City Begins Slurry Seal Paving Program

WHO: City of Richmond Department of Public Works

WHAT: Slurry seal paving program

WHEN: August 2009 through October 2009

WHERE:
Bellevue
Oregon Hill
North Highland Park
Dinwiddie Avenue

BACKGROUND: Slurry seal is a pavement restoration technique that consists of mixed asphalt, aggregate, and additives. The technique effectively preserves and extends roadway life by protecting it from the effects of weathering and normal wear and tear. During the project, there should be minimal interruption to traffic flow.

From refuse collection to pothole reports, Customer Care Center representatives are available at 3-1-1 to assist citizens with all of their Public Works needs. For more information on the City of Richmond, visit www.RichmondGov.com .

Earlier this week the City repaved Cherry Street. If you look at the photo below you can see where the old trolley tracks still show through.
