Next week The Dalles and Wasco County public works crews will begin work on several pavement preservation projects. These chip seal projects will require short duration road closures between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at each location on the date the work is scheduled to take place. Detours will be in place during work hours. Proceed with caution in the work areas during construction times and observe all temporary traffic control devices. A full list of the projects planned for next week and a 2023 The Dalles Pavement Preservation Program map can be viewed at thedalles.org. If you have questions, contact The Dalles Public Works Department at 541-296-5401. This road work is expected to extend the service life of the pavement structures.
