Drivers are advised that temporary delays will occur on various streets in Santa Maria during the Citywide Road Resurfacing Project, Wednesday, Sept. 24 through mid-November. It is recommended to use alternate routes when possible.
The project will include the removal of existing traffic striping; placing of a chip seal (new road wearing surface); re-establishment of traffic striping; and installation of new traffic loops.
The city is contracting Pavement Coating Company to perform the $3 million project funded by Measure A, Gas Tax, and SB-1 Gas Tax dollars.
“As one of its Smart City, Safe City programs, the Department of Public Works diligently tracks the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) to assess the condition of streets,” the city said. “Based on available funds, including tax revenue from gas purchases, staff conducts annual assessments and develops road projects.”
