Basic road maintenance schedule

Overview

Throughout the year, Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) crews and contractors handle all types of basic road maintenance projects to preserve pavement conditions, so it lasts longer. These are projects bigger than a single pothole or utility cut, and not part of any capital improvement project. 

Typical schedule

• January – April: Gravel Street service, some base repair
• April – September: Grind-and-pave work, base repair
• May – September: Sealing work such as micro-surfacing, slurry seal, crack seal etc.
• October – December: Gravel Street service, base repairs

Timing

Much of this work is weather-dependent and scheduled 1-2 months in advance based on numerous factors including road conditions and crew availability. Projects typically take anywhere from half a day to a full work week. 

What to expect

As with all construction projects, expect some dust and noise from heavy equipment, as well as minor disruptions to traffic. 

Obey work zones

Always travel cautiously around work zones, observe all lane closures and directions by reader boards and flaggers. Use alternate routes if possible.
