Road crews at work in Point Roberts

Whatcom County crews are in Point Roberts getting ready for what will be a busy chip sealing season in 2019.

“Crews are now doing shoulder picking, looking at culverts and refining the list” of roads that will be chip sealed next year, said Brian Walker, senior engineering technician with Whatcom County public works.

Shoulder picking is scraping a layer of gravel, debris and vegetation off road shoulder. The work is expected to last until November 8.
