Construction – what to expect
Repaving and restriping require several steps, so please watch for construction workers and give yourself plenty of time to get where you need to go.
- Repaving work requires a combination of grinding, striping removal and crack sealing.
- When areas are ready to be resurfaced we try to resurface one side at a time to maintain at least one lane of traffic and access to businesses. When one side is done, we switch to the other side.
- The new surface needs a little time to cure before it’s ready for new striping, but temporary traffic markings will be provided.
- Completing all the striping and markings usually takes between two to four weeks after the road is resurfaced.
Other details
- Access to homes and businesses will be maintained.
- Traffic control will be in place impacting bike and car lanes. Please use caution in the area and share the road.
- Street parking may be restricted.
- Crews will work to minimize noise and dust.
- Construction equipment will be stored nearby with construction noise during work hours.
- Please do not drive, walk or bike on newly resurfaced street until signs are removed.
- For properties next to construction, please do not run your irrigation the evening before, through 8 hours after resurfacing is complete.
