Pavement Management Program

Slurry Seal Summer 2026

(4/9/2026) 

The City of Tigard will be completing slurry seal throughout Tigard as part of the Pavement Management Program in the summer of 2026. Neighborhoods will experience single day road closures for the slurry seal application. A tentative schedule will be available once the contractor has been selected. 

Check to see if your street will be slurry sealed this summer here. If your street was schedule for slurry seal this summer, you should receive a letter in the mail. A couple days before your street is closed, you will receive a door hanger notice and signs will be posted along your street.

• Your street will be closed for one day from 7:30 a.m. to approximately 5 p.m. 
  • When the slurry seal is applied, it looks like chocolate syrup but is much stickier and messier. Slurry seal takes several hours to dry. During that time, motorists, pedestrians, and pets must stay out of the slurry seal to avoid damaging the application and getting material on vehicles, shoes, and paws.
• You must remove all vehicles and other objects from the street. 
  • This includes trailers, garbage cans, basketball hoops, etc.
• You must avoid outdoor water use if it causes water to flow onto the street. 
  • Water will hinder the slurry seal curing process. If you water your lawn or wash your car on slurry seal day, please make sure the water does not flow onto the street.

When will my street be closed for the slurry seal application? 

Once determined, the paving schedule will be posted on www.tigard-or.gov/paving. A couple days before the closure, you will receive a door hanger notice and signs will be posted along your street. We do our best to adhere to the schedule, but wet weather and other factors can cause delays. If your street closure date changes, you will receive a new door hanger notice and the signs along your street will display the updated street closure date. You can also sign up for text message and phone call alerts to stay up to date on project timeline and impacts. 

What if it rains?

Light rain or passing showers may not delay the slurry seal application. However, slurry seal cannot be applied in heavy or steady rain. If we have or anticipate significant rainfall, the slurry seal application is likely to be postponed to another day. You will be notified of the new application date via a door hanger notice and signs along your street.

What if there is an emergency?

Should an emergency arise, emergency vehicles will be given access to the street.

Park your vehicle on a nearby street that is not being slurry sealed. Use the attached maps, the schedule posted at www.tigard-or.gov/paving, and check area signage to plan your route and where to park.

What about garbage pickup, mail delivery, ect.?

 Slurry seal applications are coordinated with the Postal Service, garbage haulers and other service providers. In most cases, you will not experience any service interruptions. Put garbage cans out early on your regular collection day, preferably at the edge of your driveway rather than in the street. Garbage haulers and mail carriers will work around the slurry seal application to provide service— although it may not be at the usual time of day.

How much does slurry seal cost and how is it paid for?

Slurry seal costs about $.30 per square foot and is very cost effective when compared to a complete pavement overlay, which costs about $3.00 per square foot. Slurry seal is paid for by Tigard residents and business owners through the street maintenance fee. This fee appears on your monthly City of Tigard utility bill.
