City Of Davis: Important Paving Improvements Update 8.6.21 - Road Closures Downtown Aug. 8 At Night; F St And J St Day Closures

Press release from the City Of Davis:

August 06, 2021

Pavement improvements continue this week. The following streets will be slurry sealed on the NIGHT of Sunday, August 8, into the early morning of August 9, (9 p.m. – 6 a.m.), and will be fully closed during this time. Streets are:
• 1st Street from A St to B St
• 2nd Street from E St to H St (access to the Amtrak Station will be maintained)
• G Street from 3rd St to 5th St
• F Street from 4th  St to 5th  St, including the F St and 5th St intersection
During the week of August 9, these are the scheduled closures:

• Wednesday, 8/11 – F St from 12th St to Covell Blvd, digging and paving, closure with detours 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Thursday, 8/12 – F St from 5th St to 7th St and from 8th St to Covell, slurry seal, closure with detours 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Thursday, 8/12 to Monday, 8/16 (excluding weekend)– J St from 3rd St to 5th St, grinding and paving closures with detours 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Concrete work will occur on Pole Line Road between 8th St and Loyola for the weeks of August 9 and August 16. There will be lane shifts, but no closures.

For slurry seal areas: the City needs to keep traffic off of the slurry seal for at least four hours to allow it to cure before allowing traffic back on the roads. It is understood that the closures will be inconvenient, but will allow the contractor to complete the work all in one day rather than multiple days. 

Thank you for your understanding as this work is completed. If you need to leave your home or business during these work hours, it is recommended that you park on an adjacent street or block to avoid delays. The City requests that drivers avoid parking on the street the day after the slurry seal application to allow for adequate street sweeping. Thorough sweeping the week following application will greatly improve the aesthetics of the final product.

As always, schedules are subject to change with construction. We will update the public if this happens.
