Overview
This roadway preservation project chip sealed 141 miles on 11 state highways in Adams, Chelan, Douglas, Franklin and Okanogan counties.
These highways were resurfaced under this project:
21 miles of US 2 in Douglas County from Moses Coulee to the SR-17 Jct. near Coulee City.
9 miles of SR 17 in Franklin County from SR 260 Jct. vicinity to Adams County Line.
15 miles of SR 20 in Okanogan County from Winthrop to north of SR 153 Jct. near Twisp.
11 miles of SR 26 in Adams County from Grant County Line to SR 17 Jct. near Othello.
18 miles of US 97 in Chelan and Okanogan Counties from SR 150 Jct. near Chelan to Pateros.
22 miles of US 97 in Okanogan County from SR 17 Jct. near Brewster to Okanogan.
3 1/2 miles of US 97A in Chelan County from Chelan to US 97 Jct.
2 miles of SR 150 in Chelan County from Chelan to US 97 Jct.
8 miles of SR 153 in Okanogan County from Pateros to near Methow.
17 miles of SR 172 in Douglas County from west of Mansfield to SR 17 Jct.
0.3 miles of SR 213 in Okanogan County from US 97 Jct. to Malott.
15 miles of SR 971 in Chelan County from SR 97A Jct. north of Entiat to SR 97A Jct. near Chelan.
A project to build left turn lanes on SR 26 near Othello was incorporated into the seal project to save money and deliver the project sooner.
 | Improves Safety
The chip sealing process increases traction and skid resistance. It fills cracks and raveled surfaces, providing a smoother, safer ride. It also provides an anti-glare surface when wet and increases reflectivity at night. Fresh striping and new signage also improves safety.

 | Economic Incentive
This project extends pavement life on 141 miles of state highway by providing a waterproof layer protecting the underlying pavement structure.
