County to start Best Road chip seal project on Monday

Skagit County Public Works road crews expect to begin work on Monday to chip-seal Best Road between Calhoun Road and the Skagit River Bridge.

The work will be done in phases. Travelers can expect some traffic delays when the base layer and gravel are placed.

Weather permitting, the road crew will place a second layer of chip seal within two weeks.

The speed limit will be reduced from 35 or 50 mph to 25 mph through the construction zone.
