NEWBERG, Ore. — The City of Newberg is entering the next phase of its 2026 summer pavement preservation program, with two contractors set to work across multiple neighborhoods over the coming weeks, according to a city press release issued June 23.
The work is funded through the city’s Transportation Utility Fee, which supports ongoing investment in Newberg’s road infrastructure, the release said.
Crack sealing work in Northwest Newberg is already complete, according to the city.
Beginning Monday, July 6, contractor Eagle Elsner will perform grind-and-inlay operations in the southern district of Newberg and address soft spots on Mountainview Road ahead of slurry seal work planned later in the summer, the release said. That work is expected to continue through Friday, July 10.
Grind-and-inlay is a more intensive repair technique used on roadways where surface deterioration requires removal and replacement of the existing pavement layer, according to the city.
Streets addressed in this phase of work include:
- Springbrook Road from Haworth Avenue to Mountainview Road (spot repairs ahead of full slurry seal)
- Mountainview Road from NE Chehalem Drive to Springbrook Road (spot repairs ahead of full slurry seal)
- S. Meridian Street between Fifth and Seventh streets
- Seventh Street from Edwards Elementary School to River Street
- S. School Street
- E. Tenth Street
- S. James Street
- E. Michelle Court
The following week, contractor Doolittle Construction will perform slurry seal work on Mountainview Road and Springbrook Road, beginning in early August, and continuing for a week, according to the release.
Slurry seal is a preventative maintenance treatment that extends pavement life by sealing surface cracks and restoring a protective weathering course, the city said.
The city said residents and drivers in affected areas should expect temporary lane restrictions and brief delays during active work hours. The release noted that adverse weather, including extreme heat or rain, could affect the project timeline, and the city said it plans to post updates to its website and social media accounts as they become available.
