Snohomish County plans to resurface about 76 miles of roads this summer
EVERETT – As part of its annual road maintenance and preservation program, Snohomish County Public Works plans to resurface approximately 76 miles of roads in Snohomish County this year.
“Being proactive in maintenance and preservation of county roads saves tax dollars by reducing the chances of more expensive repairs,” Engineer and Public Works Deputy Director Doug McCormick said in a press release.
In 2025, the county plans to pave about 7 miles of roads and pre-level and chip seal about 69 miles of roads, McCormick said.
Pre-level work means crews will patch potholes, improve uneven or failing pavement sections, repair subgrade and drainage issues and trim vegetation. Chip sealing extends the life of the road surface for an additional seven to 10 years and costs about one-third as much as an asphalt overlay, the press release said.
