Description<\/h2>\n

Overview<\/h4>\n

One of the most important aspects of managing the County\u2019s unincorporated road network condition is continual investment towards pavement preservation treatments.\u00a0 These types of sealant projects represent relatively low-cost improvements that prolong the effective life of roadways in good to fair condition.<\/p>\n

This sealant project includes crack sealing, preservation treatments slurry seal or microsurfacing, and striping on approximately 40 centerline miles of roadway across unincorporated areas of Marin County.\u00a0 It is worth noting that this is one of the largest sealant projects the County has ever undertaken. The preservation treatments selected for this project were based on the current conditions of each road segment, utility coordination and scoping efficient road groupings.<\/p>\n

This sealant project has two objectives.\u00a0 The first objective is to apply the pavement preservation treatment at the optimal time to extend the useful life of the roadway.\u00a0 The second objective is to provide a stopgap measure to improve roads in the \u2018poor condition\u2019 category and defer repaving or reconstruction by 3 to 10 years depending on the condition at the time of application, reducing the cost per year of service life.<\/p>\n

Funding<\/h4>\n

The estimated $2.9 million project is funded by the County's Road & Bridge Fund and the State Gas Tax Senate Bill 1.<\/p>\n

Traffic Impacts<\/h4>\n

Construction will take place during the daytime hours with traffic control measures.\u00a0 Depending on the length of the road, closures may be done in separate phases.\u00a0 For residential roads, expect roads to be totally closed for a maximum of 8 hours per day (residents will receive 7 day advance notification of any such work).\u00a0 For arterial and collector roads, expect traffic control and lane closures with 10 minutes traffic delays during the lane closures.<\/p>\n

Property owners\/residents along the roads scheduled for sealing are given advance written notifications ahead of any work that requires their road to be closed in order for them to adequately prepare.\u00a0 After sealing the road, the public will notice an immediate improvement to the road\u2019s aesthetics and rideability.<\/p>\n
