2023 CHIP SEALING PROJECT

 Beginning August 21, 2023, the Baker City Public Works Department will be chip-sealing several city streets. The work is expected to last four days. The chip seal process extends the life of a street by restoring vital asphalt pavement components that are lost through the aging and oxidation process. By sealing the street, moisture is unable to penetrate below the asphalt surface. A list of the streets to be treated as well as a map showing the street locations for the 2023 project are on the reverse. 

Notices will be provided to residents affected by the street improvement project at least two business days prior. Please expect traffic delays and possible rerouting of traffic during this project. Should inclement weather conditions or mechanical issues arise, the street work will be rescheduled for the next available work day.
