Hood River County’s 2024 Chip Seal Program construction is set to begin on Monday.  Frankton Road, Indian Creek Road, and Barrett Drive will receive a single layer chip seal, while Belmont Drive from Fairview to Country Club and Country Club from Barrett to Portland Drive will receive a double seal.  The chip seal work will reduce traffic to single lanes while construction crews are present.  Flaggers will be used to route traffic as needed to keep traffic flowing.  Some loose gravel may remain on the road for several days while the asphalt hardens.  To minimize potential damage to the chip seal and reduce the risk of loose gravel being thrown by tires, lower speed limits may be imposed temporarily, and bicyclists are advised to avoid those roads while loose rock is present.  Construction should be completed by June 28, unless there are weather-related delays.  Finish work will take place in July, then roads will be restriped.  Residents and businesses within the construction zones will have access, although there may be intermittent delays.  For more information, contact Hood River County Public Works at 541-386-2616.
