Yes, it's that time of the year...
In the south end of the county we are chip-sealing, asphalt pre-leveling, and applying dust control product to gravel roads. All of these operations could cause delays and /or single lane closures. Speed limits on newly surfaced roads is 25MPH.
Also, the chipseal crew will be working into the evening, beyond our usual hours so be prepared if you live in the Tenino/Rainier/Yelm areas. You can see more chipseal information on our Public Works web page including the proposed daily road schedule, subject to change.
VEGETATION CONTROL
We have mowers working county wide to control the shoulder vegetation growth. These folks are doing their best to keep ahead of Mother Nature, but it is a close race. Please use caution when around these work zones.
We also have crews out with weed trimmers working to remove the tall grass and brush near the guardrails. These workers can't always hear your vehicles due to the noise of the trimmers, and they are often working in narrow shoulder spaces so please slow down and take care when moving through their work areas.
ENJOY THE SUN and have a safe week!
