Leavenworth, WALocal News

The City of Leavenworth has issued an update on the 2024 Scrub Seal Project, announcing the successful completion of initial scrub seal work as of September 30. Following this, the contractor commenced minor touch-ups and began fog sealing on October 1, focusing on the northeast quadrant of the city. The project is organized into color-coded zones, with the contractor planning to move through these areas sequentially, anticipating completion of fog sealing by October 3, contingent on weather conditions. Residents are advised that traffic will be maintained with one lane open while allowing the fog seal to cure, which requires no vehicle access for 30-60 minutes post-application. The city has also scheduled roadway striping for the week of October 14, which will further enhance road safety and durability.

The ongoing communication emphasizes the importance of community patience and understanding during these necessary maintenance efforts. The Scrub Seal Project is crucial for maintaining the infrastructure and ensuring safe travel for all residents. The updates reflect the city's commitment to transparency and effective community engagement.
