San Miguel Rd and SMART Intersection Closure

[updated!] San Miguel Road, at the SMART track crossing, is currently closed. The closure and detour will start at 8:00 a.m. each day. The contractor will make every effort to reopen the road at 5:00 p.m. at the end of every day, but sometimes the road will remain closed longer depending on how quickly the asphalt cools. The closure is scheduled to last through Thursday (July 25) of this week. Additional information regarding the closure will be provided in subsequent updates.

Coffey Park Paving Locations and Impacts

[updated!] Paving operations are currently underway in the Coffey Park neighborhood. The streets scheduled to be paved over the next week are listed below.

The work on these streets will consist of grinding and removing approximately 2-3 inches of the roadway, and replacing it with new asphalt. The full length of the street will be paved unless otherwise noted. Schedule is subject to change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.

Please note that these streets are not listed in the sequence that they will be paved, as some flexibility in the schedule is required due to day-to-day changes that impact operations. For more information on when a specific street will be paved please call the project hotline at (707) 385-1239.  

Schedule for Wednesday, July 24 to Thursday, August 1

  • Hopper Ave
  • San Miguel Rd
  • Walnut Creek Ct
  • Walnut Grove St
  • Waltzer Rd

For the entire Phase 3 paving schedule please visit the website at www.NeighborhoodRoadRecovery.com.

Please Note:

  • There may be times when the contractor needs to trim tree branches hanging over the road so that the paving equipment can safely pass without breaking the branches.
  • While this work is underway there will be ‘No Parking’ signs posted along the street.
  • Work hours, including ‘No Parking’ hours, are from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm., Monday through Friday.
  • All driveways will have access at the end of each workday.
  • Emergency vehicle access and/or resident evacuation in event of emergency will always be accommodated.
  • If you need to use your vehicle on your street’s paving days, please park on an adjacent street.
  • If you have special/urgent circumstances requiring getting your vehicle in or out of your driveway while the work is taking place, please make contact with one of the on-site inspectors or call (707) 385-1239 for assistance.
  • Trash/recycling will be collected on the normally scheduled day before construction hours. If Recology is unable to collect the trash on that day they will make every effort to collect the trash bins on the following day.
  • Mail and package deliveries should not be impacted by construction activities. When needed, delivery vehicles are parked away from the construction zone and mail/packages are delivered on foot.

When traveling on or near the streets being paved, please use extra caution and watch for construction crews, equipment, flaggers, and special construction/traffic signage.

Project Overview

The project will resurface 33-miles of residential City streets damaged following the 2017 Tubbs Fire. Two pavement treatment options will be applied to resurface the pavement on this project. One pavement treatment option will involve a mill-and-fill asphalt replacement and the other involves dig-out repairs and application of a latex-modified, high-volume traffic slurry seal treatment. The type of treatment applied to a street depends on the pavement condition of the roadway. The project will also include the installation of over 100 ADA-compliant pedestrian curb ramps.

Construction Notes

As with all large construction projects, there will be unavoidable disruptions to nearby neighbors and to motorists traveling in the area – we apologize in advance for noise, dust, lane closures, traffic delays, and any other impacts or inconveniences. When driving, walking, or biking in the area, always be aware of construction crews and equipment, flaggers, special signage, slower traffic, and rough roadways. Use an alternate route if possible, and allow for additional time to get to and from your destination.
