The repaving work on SE Johnson Creek Blvd. between SE 32nd and SE 40th avenues was to be completed on April 15. So what is the delay?
One of the wettest April on the books is the problem. Portland Bureau of Transportation say they need a three-day window of dry weather to lay the asphalt.
Asphalt is a product that contains oil. The oil reacts negatively when it comes in contact with the water, affecting the pavement curing and integrity.
