2015 Slurry Seal and Curb Ramp Program
The City of El Cerrito’s Public Works Department has started construction of the annual pavement and curb ramp maintenance program for 2015.
There will be curb ramp construction / modifications at the following intersections:
The contractor will apply a slurry seal coat over the road's surface. After the slurry is dried, the street is rolled with a rubber tire roller to cure the slurry. The street is opened for driving after 4-5 hours. Weather conditions may impact the slurry and cause delays in the street opening. When complete, the street's surface will be uniform and black in color. After a few days, the contractor will return and stripe lane lines and legends.
On Thursday, November 12 (Yellow on Map) the following streets will be resurfaced:
Traffic Impacts: In general, lane closures or complete road closures will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with modified hours to accommodate pick-up and drop-off times near schools. Emergency vehicles will always be allowed to proceed through the work site. All lanes of traffic will be restored no later than 5 p.m. each day.
The work on Arlington Blvd. will be done so that one way traffic, flagmen controlled, is always provided. Expect delays of up to ten minutes. City Hall Visitors, please park at the City Parking Lot located to the north of the Public Safety Building on San Pablo Ave. on Friday, November 13 when the City Hall parking lot is closed for resurfacing. The work on all other streets will be done under full roadway closure, with detour signage provided to the most convenient and safe route.
Please check back to this website for changes on work dates.
If you have any questions before then, please contact Heath Pope, the BKF's Resident Engineer at (925) 940-2203 or email. You may also contact the City's Public Works Department at (510) 215-4382 or email.
