Downtown Troutdale Receives New Black "Carpet"
The asphalt layers of Multnomah County Transportation Division are currently prepping the Historic downtown streets of Troutdale. Soon the downtown streets will receive a new layer of asphalt and stripping. This is all part of a $500,000 overlay project for Multnomah County. The historic downtown Troutdale is one of the five projects slated by the county during this construction season.
The preparation work started in late July and will continue until the 10th of September. The final coat of asphalt will be laid the third week of September. There was a delay in the final coat being applied in order to accommodate the downtown merchants so that it would be less disruptive to their businesses.
The project will use 500 cubic yards of asphalt or over 1,000 tons of paving material. The final overlay will be 1 1/2 inches deep and stretch approximately 2,000 feet through the downtown section from curb to curb.
While there are some disruptions in traffic flow, we all look forward to riding on that smooth, clean black "carpet".
