Oak Grove Road Pavement Rehabilitation (Phase 3) 

July 19, 2023

The paving portion of the Oak Grove Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Phase 3) (City Project No. 2557) began on Monday, July 10, and was complete by Monday, July 17. The project boundary extends from Oak Grove Road at Treat Boulevard to the Contra Costa Canal Trail. The paving process occurred in three phases, the first phase being removal of the 2” layer of asphalt, the second phase being 3.5” cold-in-place recycling (CIR) where the milled asphalt is mixed with an emulsified recycling agent, and the third phase being replacement of the top 2” layer with rubberized hot mix asphalt to provide a strong, long-lasting roadway. City Staff along with its Construction Manager, Zoon Engineering, worked with the Contractor, MCK Services, Inc. to minimize traffic impacts and complete the pavement rehabilitation on schedule. The remaining tasks on the project include traffic striping, loop installation, raising of utilities, and signage. The project is estimated to be complete by August 8.

With completion of Phase 3 of the Oak Grove Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project from Treat Boulevard to the Contra Costa Canal Trail, the City will have re-paved all of Oak Grove Road from one end to the other, including all intersections.

New curb ramp work at the Palm Lake Apartments entrance and on Santa Paula Drive has been completed to meet ADA accessibility requirements. The valley gutter replacement work has been completed at the Ygnacio Valley High School entrance to address ponding issues in the crosswalk, and minimal curb and gutter work was completed to address uplifted curbs and ponding.

Pavement rehabilitation of Oak Grove Road from Treat Boulevard to Contra Costa Canal Trail is starting this week, with an estimated duration of 6 days to complete the paving work. The method of pavement rehabilitation work is cold in-depth recycling (CIR), where the existing asphalt pavement is milled to a depth between 2 to 4 inches, mixed with cold milled material with emulsified recycling agent, and then spread, compacted, and overlayed with a new layer of hot mix asphalt to provide a strong, long-lasting roadway.

Please observe construction signage, and use alternate routes when possible to reduce traffic congestion. City Staff and the Contractor will be working diligently to minimize traffic impacts, with some night work scheduled to reduce traffic impacts. The signal lights will be put in flash mode at the intersection of Oak Grove Rd and Treat Blvd during night work. Temporary lane adjustments and closures will be made throughout the scheduled paving work.

Paving is expected to take place from Monday, July 10 through Monday, July 17. Expect delays on these dates between the hours of:

(7/10 – 7/13) Mon – Thurs: 5:00 a.m. – 7 a.m. Treat Boulevard to the YVHS entrance, 7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. YVHS entrance to Contra Costa Canal Trail
