Pavement grinding underway on SR-14

On Monday, Washington State Department of Transportation contractor Tapani Underground Inc. began pavement grinding to prepare state Route 14 in Camas and Washougal for its final layer of asphalt.

“Final paving is very weather-dependent, but grinding can be done in pretty much any weather,” said WSDOT Project Engineer Chris Tams. “Getting the grinding done up front means we can be ready to take advantage of every warm, dry day that comes along and get a good-quality layer of asphalt.”
