Pavement Project to Cause Delays on Ralston Ave, Alameda de las Pulgas

Belmont drivers should expect delays on two of the city's busiest thoroughfares, Ralston Avenue and Alameda de las Pulgas, beginning Friday, July 22.

The 2011 Capital Pavement Maintenance Project consists of slurry seal treatment on Ralston Avenue, Belburn Drive, Chevy Street, Alameda de las Pulgas, Longfellow Drive, Oak Knoll Drive and Terrace Drive, city staff said.

The Belburn Drive segment from Notre Dame Avenue to Academy Drive includes a 1.5 inch overlay. Prior to applying slurry seal treatment, local damaged areas will be repaired and pavement striping will be removed as necessary. Pavement striping will be re-striped after slurry seal is applied.

The project limits are:

Ralston Avenue (El Camino Real - Cipriani Boulevard)
Alameda de las Pulgas (Covington Road North - Covington Road South)
Belburn Drive (Villa Avenue - Notre Dame Avenue)
Chevy Street (Belburn Drive - Ralston Avenue)
Longfellow Drive (Bay Court - Haskins Drive)
Oak Knoll Drive (Valley View Avenue - End)
Terrace Drive (Notre Dame Avenue - Hillman Avenue)

Though Ralston and Alameda will remain open through Aug. 17, the expected end date of the project, delays due to construction work nearby should be anticipated between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., according to city staff.
