Medford, OR – According to the statement, the process reportedly includes spreading rock chips onto emulsified oil, then pressing the rocks in with rollers.

Chip seals help protect and extend the life of the existing roadway.

From there, work crews will relocate to OR 11, just south of Milton-Freewater, and travel south to Pendleton.
