Summer Roadwork

This project will take three weeks to complete and will resurface 93 streets. See impacted neighborhoods below. 

Work hours

• July through August
• Work hours: 7:00 am-5:00 pm

Temporary road closure

• The street will be closed to all traffic. 
• 24-48 hours before work begins, “No Parking” signs are placed on your street. The signs will include the dates of construction.
• The road will be closed to all traffic. Crews will clear the street and complete street sweeping. 
• The seal will be wet and sticky when the slurry is applied. Slurry needs as much as 4-6 hours to cure, depending on weather. Until the seal cures, the street will be closed to all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians and pets. 
• A cone will be placed at each driveway to indicate the street is closed to all traffic.
• Do not attempt to leave your driveway during this time. 
• The contractor will remove the cone when the street is reopened. 

Please note: Vehicles parked on the street during construction will be towed. Every effort is made to contact residents prior to the construction date. If your vehicle is towed, contact the Gresham Police Department at 503-618-2318.

Notification

• A postcard is mailed to residents prior to scheduled work. 
• Postcard notices are sent to residents two weeks prior to scheduled work.
• 24-48 hours before the work begins, "No Parking" signs are placed on your street. The signs will include the dates of construction. 
• A door hanger with more information will be delivered at the time no parking signs are posted. 

Please note: Vehicles parked on the street when paving is scheduled, may be towed at the owners' expense. 

Garbage service

The City is coordinating work with local garbage haulers. If work is scheduled on your garbage day, we recommend putting your roll carts out early to allow haulers to collect garbage prior to road work.

Crews will be working throughout Gresham to repair local streets. Check the roadwork map for up-to-date information on locations and scheduling. 

Work is scheduled for the following neighborhoods:

• Centennial
• Central City 
• Gresham Butte
• Historic Southeast
• Hollybrook
• North Gresham
• Northwest
• Rockwood
• Southwest
• Wilkes

Slurry seal

A slurry seal work is weather dependent. If it rains, work will be rescheduled. Check the roadwork map to see where crews are working.

Maintenance steps

Preparation

• Cracks in the pavement are sealed with an adhesive sealant.
• Patch repairs are made where areas of the pavement have failed.
• Lane striping or markers are removed approximately 7 days before the slurry is applied and replaced soon after.

Clean sweep

• Street must be clear of all vehicles.
• The day the work is scheduled, the street is cleaned with street sweepers before the seal work begins.

Slurry Seal

• The slurry seal is applied to the entire street.
• The seal takes 4-8 hours to dry. It is important to stay off the road during the dry time. The road will continue to improve as traffic rolls in the new seal.
