Several Campbell Streets To Close This Month For Road Resurfacing

CAMPBELL, CA — Several Campbell streets will close for four to five hours from Aug. 9 to Aug. 17 so they can receive a slurry seal treatment as part of the city's annual street maintenance project.

Each street will be completely closed to traffic for the duration of the maintenance, and on-street parking will be restricted. During that time, O'Grady Paving, Inc. will complete the slurry seal application process, according to a notice from the city.

Occupants of houses on the affected streets should put out their trash on garbage day, as West Valley Collection and Recycling will do early morning pick-ups.

Residents should not wash their cars or water their lawns the day before the work is scheduled, the day of the construction, or the day after, the notice said.

Residents can expect typical construction noise and posted traffic control signs throughout the project, according to the notice.

"The goal of the project is to extend the useful life of the pavement by using various preventive maintenance treatments such as asphalt concrete overlay, rubber cape seal, and slurry seal," the city said on its website.

The slurry seal treatment is the second step in a two-step process to resurface a street, the notice said. It is mainly used to fill minor undulations caused by a chip seal application, and to encapsulate the aggregate/chip material so that it doesn't dislodge.

Some streets did not previously receive the chip seal application, the notice said, and in those cases the slurry seal treatment is a preventative maintenance to protect the base of the roadway from water damage and weathering.

The city uses vehicle registration fees, vehicle impact fees, gas taxes and money from Campbell's Capital Reserves to fund the project, it said on its website. It is also receiving funding from 2017's Road Repair and Accountability Act.
