RE: 2023 COUNTY ROAD CHIP SEAL AND RESTRIPING PROJECTS
Mason County Public Works would like to notify motorists that our annual county road
chip sealing or"road resurfacing"and restriping projects will be in progress during the
months of July and August(weather permitting).
This year's chip seal program, completed by county forces, will cover approximately
12.5 miles of roads throughout Mason County and another 4.5 miles of county-
maintained gravel road conversions to chip seal.
Most county roads are restriped every year to improve night-time visibility of pavement
markings. First round of striping will begin end of July and a second round, will start in
August,to finish the newly chip sealed roads. This year, Stripe Rite, Inc. out of Sumner,
Washington has been contracted to complete the restriping project.
Motorists are advised to expect delays,use caution while driving through the work areas
and not to drive across painted lines.
The County Sheriff's Department will be providing added traffic safety during these
proj ects.
The County appreciates motorist taking extra care while this road work is in progress.

roads can be found the County website at www.co.mason.wa.us,under"Public Works",
or call the Public Works Department at(360)427-9670, Ext. 450.
