Beware driving on fresh street paint—vehicle damage could result

  • Updated

Crews from the City of The Dalles and a contractor will paint center and side lines on selected high-traffic streets Monday and Tuesday, Oct.7 and 8, beginning at 7 a.m. each day, weather permitting.

The city is currently using a new epoxy-based, modified urethane paint. This new type of paint is expected to last for several years rather than just one year. Extra precautions are needed to give the epoxy-based paint time to dry, however, because it cannot be easily removed from vehicles.
