The San Juan County Public Works Department started chip seal operations with a fog seal on roads in Eastsound, on Monday, July 14. At the time of this writing, Russ Harvey, operations manager for public works, estimated that the work would be completed in a single day.

When the fog seal is applied, it will be wet and then tacky. Pedestrians should not walk on the surface until it is dry.

“The better the weather is the quicker it dries,” Harvey  said. “ We wanted to take advantage of the weather.”

Crews will be there to advise when the surface can be walked on.
