Beginning Monday and continuing through Thursday, the City of The Dalles and Wasco County public works department will be working to chip seal and fog coat many areas in The Dalles.  The immediate work sections will be signed the day before to request “no on-street parking” for the following day.  Speeds will be reduced to 15 or 20 miles per hour to keep vehicles from dislodging the cover rock and reduce the instances of loose flying rock as the treatments cure.  Early morning street sweeping will occur Tuesday and Wednesday in order to remove rock for the “fog” seal coat.  After loose rock has been swept from the streets, the fog coat of oil will be applied to the City streets involved.  Flaggers and signs will be present to help motorists safely navigate through work areas.  Work on 10^th Street between Thompson and Dry Hollow has been postponed until late August to allow trucks hauling fruit for the cherry harvest to have uninterrupted passage.
