ROSEBURG ROAD RESURFACING TO BEGIN SOON

KQEN News Radio

Maintenance to extend the life of over 2.5 miles of southeastern Roseburg streets is set to begin next Wednesday, September 3rd, weather permitting.

A city release said the Roseburg Public Works Department asks vehicle owners to be sure to remove their vehicles from street sections scheduled and posted for maintenance to allow crews to complete the work. “No parking” and “road closed” signs will be set up three days before each closure

Contractors have been hired to apply slurry seals on street sections from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on September 3rd and 4th. Weather delays postponed work that was originally scheduled for late August.

The release said slurry seals combine a thin layer of gravel or “aggregate” with an asphalt emulsifier, which is applied to a paved surface to help preserve and protect the underlying pavement structure, and provide a new driving surface.

Residents who normally park their vehicles on streets scheduled for maintenance must remove those vehicles from the street before work starts so crews can apply the slurry seals. Advance notice will be given to every residence prior to the scheduled start dates. Vehicles found on those streets after scheduled start dates will be towed at the owner’s expense.

ROSEBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY TO HOST GEOLOGIST LARRY BROEKER

KQEN News Radio

Roseburg Public Library invites the public to a presentation on Oregon’s Table Rocks presented by geologist Larry Broeker at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 11th.

A city release said Broeker retired from the Umpqua National Forest and speaks regularly about the iconic landforms of southern Oregon and northern California.

Broeker says about 7 million years ago, a massive outpouring of runny lava swept down the ancestral canyon of the Rogue River 44 miles from source fissures thought to be buried beneath Olson Mountain, an extinct High Cascades shield volcano located a few miles east-southeast of Lost Creek Lake.

Broeker said the lava spread across the northern part of the Rogue Valley and solidified to a depth varying between 100 and 200 feet. Over the past seven millennia, tectonic forces and geologic processes have imperceptibly transformed the Rogue Valley into the present-day horseshoe-shaped landforms of Table Rocks.

The free program will be held at the library on Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard and is open to the public. For more information contact the library at 492-7050 or email: library@roseburgor.gov
