City crews soon will begin work on slurry seal street repairs and resurfacing in Otay Mesa, Skyline, Paradise Hills, Golden Hill and North Park, officials announced Friday.
According to the city, slurry seal is used to prevent the deterioration of streets – vital to improving the overall condition of San Diego’s roads. It reduces the need for a more costly asphalt overlay and reconstruction for badly deteriorated streets.
Slurry seal is often completed in phases over several days or weeks. Multiple slurry seal projects are happening across the city simultaneously and are often coupled with other facility updates to increase safety and mobility for all modes of transportation.
The latest work will be completed, weather permitting, in March.
Some of the roads to be resurfaced include Piccard Avenue, Kostner Drive, Manya Circle, Palm Avenue, Corporate Center Drive, Viewcrest Drive, Logan Avenue, K Street, Harrison Avenue, Beech Street, Redwood Street and Myrtle Avenue.
Streets are selected for resurfacing through a pavement management system that helps determine when to schedule streets and what treatment to use. Each street segment is assigned a Pavement Condition Index score based on the pavement’s overall condition.
