Road rehabilitation project begins
L-R: Council Member Brian Sturtevant & Charles Bourbeau, Mayor Pro Tem Roberta Fonzi & Mayor Tom O’Malley.
–The City of Atascadero started the F-14 Roadway Rehabilitation project this week. The schedule is expected to run now through mid-December, barring weather delays.
Roadway segments on this project include:
1. San Benito Road – Colima Road to Traffic Way
2. Nogales Avenue – Dolores Ave to Dulzura Ave
3. Rosario Avenue – El Camino Real to Traffic Way
4. Tunitas Avenue – Bajada Ave to Traffic Way
5. Capistrano Avenue – West Mall to Sycamore Road
The contractor will be working on localized repairs on San Benito Road, Nogales Avenue, Rosario Avenue and Tunitas Avenue. Work on these items is anticipated to last from 2-4 weeks. For the majority of this time, two lanes of traffic will remain open on all affected roads, although there may be times when traffic is restricted to single lane with flagging control.
Please drive carefully through the work zones. Upon completion of roadway repairs, all streets will receive an asphalt overlay, have utilities raised to the grade of the road, as well as striping of the road. This work is expected to take an additional 2-4 weeks. Residents on the streets listed above will be allowed into and out of their homes, but residents on intersecting streets are asked to access their homes using alternate routes during active construction.
Work on San Benito in front of San Benito Elementary will be coordinated around school hours to the greatest extent possible, but parents of students are encouraged to allow extra time for drop-offs and pickups. All businesses will remain open during construction and business access will be maintained throughout the project.
