Map: City Of Concord Road Work Ramps Up

Press release from the City of Concord:

CONCORD, CA — With 60 million square feet of local roads, Concord is responsible for maintaining a lot of pavement. Following a productive year of roadwork around the city, crews are gearing up for another busy construction season.

Beginning this month, community members will see a variety of projects (see project map below) underway, including:

• Fiber construction and pavement rehabilitation on Treat Boulevard, phase two (San Miguel Road to Clayton Road)
• Willow Pass sewer and paving project, year one of two (Landana Drive to Gateway Boulevard)
• Pavement maintenance on Alberta Way (Clayton Road to Ygnacio Valley Road)
• Clayton Road fiber installation (Farm Bureau Road to Washington Boulevard)
• Monument Boulevard fiber installation and pavement rehabilitation (Detroit Avenue to Mohr Lane) - in progress
• Pavement maintenance of Cowell Road (Babel Lane to Ygnacio Valley Road)

In addition, 13 residential neighborhoods are scheduled to undergo pavement maintenance.

This is all part of the City’s five-year roadway maintenance plan made possible by Measure V, the one-cent use and transaction tax passed by Concord voters in November 2020. Measure V enabled the City to borrow $114 million at the low interest rate of 1.88 percent to make an immediate investment in roads, with construction beginning in 2023.

The plans for this year’s work are detailed on the city's interactive Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) map, available at cityofconcord.org/CIP.

The draft CIP for fiscal years 2024-26 is expected to go to the Council on May 7 for a study session.

In addition, Concord’s Engineering team created a new webpage showing timely information about which projects are expected to impact traffic. View it at cityofconcord.org/trafficimpacts.
