Arroyo Avenue Closed At The Alameda Thursday, Friday in San Anselmo

SAN ANSELMO, CA — The intersection of Arroyo Avenue and The Alameda will be closed from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday for emergency road repair and completion of the Town of San Anselmo's 2016 Pavement Rehabilitation and Preservation Project.

In a letter to residents Tuesday, the contractor, Ghilotti Bros. Inc., said the work includes removing and repaving unstable soil on Arroyo as well as finishing the paving of the Arroyo/The Alameda intersection.

"We expected, and scheduled for, Arroyo to be completed last week," the letter stated. "Unfortunately, as we were paving on Friday, we discovered an isolated area of unexpected soil instability. Thus, we do need to come back again to complete the work."

At the completion of each work day, the closure will be lifted.

Residents whose driveways are on Arroyo — or #150 The Alameda — will not have access their driveways during the closures Thursday and Friday. They have the option of obtaining a parking pass for overnight parking on a nearby street if they prefer.

Emergency vehicles will be afforded access through the work area, so anyone with an emergency should dial 911.

The work schedule is subject to change.
