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.

The contractor plans to begin on U.S. 730 at the I-84 junction and move north to the Oregon/Washington state line.

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

The schedule is subject to change and may adjust from day to day.
