City Announces New Resurfacing Projects In Laguna Beach

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — The City of Laguna Beach just announced plans for several long-awaited reconstruction and resurfacing projects designed to significantly improve area roadways.

According to the city, the following streets are currently undergoing pavement upgrades:

• Park Avenue (Coast Highway to Wendt Terrace).
• Thalia Street (Coast Highway to Temple Hills Drive).
• Glenneyre Street (Forest Avenue to Thalia Street).

The streets were last resurfaced in 2010, the city said, and are expected to be completed by the end of Sept. 2024.

The city also has plans to resurface both El Toro Road (from Laguna Canyon Road to easterly City limits) and streets in the Diamond/Crestview neighborhood.

According to the city, city councilmembers will review a construction contract for these projects on Sept. 24. If approved, work is expected to begin in October and conclude by Dec. 2024.

In addition, major Caltrans work is expected to start on Coast Highway in October, with a major focus on resurfacing the road between Ledroit Street and Ruby Street.

The stretch was last resurfaced in 1999 and is scheduled for significant road reconstruction, the city said.

"The resurfacing of Coast Highway between Ledroit and Ruby Streets is a major undertaking that will greatly benefit our community," Public Works and Utilities Director Mark McAvoy said. "We are working closely with Caltrans to ensure the project progresses smoothly and minimizes disruptions, including minimizing nighttime noise to the extent possible."
