Post Falls chip seal road projects slated

POST FALLS - Post Falls' annual chip and fog seal placement program of selected city streets will start on Monday and run through Aug. 6, weather permitting.

Traffic will be allowed on streets during the application of the chip seal with short-term delays and temporary lane closures. Work will run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

To avoid rock chips, speed limits may be reduced within the work zones until the newly-sealed streets are swept clean of the chips. Avoid the construction area and find alternate routes if possible.

Streets to be sealed over 6.93 miles include:

• 15th Avenue from Chase Road to Idaho Street;

• Seltice Way from McGuire Road to Chase Road;

• Seltice Way from Pleasant View Road west to Stateline;

• Spokane Street from 16th Avenue to Seltice Way;

• all of Riverbend Avenue;

• Third Avenue from Spokane Street to Bay Street;

• Greensferry Road from Mullan Avenue to 12th Avenue;

• 17th Avenue from Idaho Street to Lincoln Street;

• 21st Avenue from Spokane Street west to the end; and

• Bogie Drive from Idaho Street to Syringa Street.

Chip seal is a polymer-oil seal with a rock-chip wear surface that seals. Residents are asked to remove all vehicles from the streets and keep water off the streets.

There will be no parking on the streets until the loose chips have been swept up.
