Overview
This project and two other pavers on SR 243 and 262 have been combined into one contract called NCR Seal 2009 Stage 2. Construction began May 26 and was complete August 6, 2009. (Read the news release). 16 miles of SR 155 in eastern Okanogan County were resurfaced. Chip sealing repaired pavement damage and extends the life of the roadway. This treatment improves safety for drivers by creating a skid-resistant surface and reducing glare.
