2022 Citywide Pavement Maintenance Project
The City’s 2022 Citywide Pavement Maintenance Project is underway with street improvement efforts underway.
The 2022 Pavement Project is anticipated to improve 149 segments on 138 streets and 67 curb ramps. $3.9 million in funding has been allocated towards the 2022 Pavement Project consisting of $900,000 Measure B funds, $900,000 SB-1 funds, $350,000 Gas Tax funds, and $1.75 million General Funds.
Streets are selected for improvement based on a Pavement Management Program (PMP), developed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Council-approved 5-year Pavement Maintenance Plan. This strategy balances the comprehensive need for pavement maintenance throughout the City against the need for repairing some of our failed major roadways to maximize the life of our roads and the benefit to the community.
Pavement Maintenance Strategy
The City’s goal is to make our streets safe and accessible for all users through maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. City streets are maintained through (1) annual maintenance projects and (2) local streets and roads projects. The annual maintenance projects, such as the 2022 Citywide Pavement Maintenance Project, take into consideration the overall repair strategy for the whole community based on the most effective and efficient use of available funding. The local streets and roads projects focus on making streets safe and drivable through the repair of potholes and minor paving projects.
For more information on street selection and pavement maintenance in general, visit the City's Better Roads Ahead webpage.
With approximately $3.2 million of Measure B, SB 1, and various Gas Tax funds, the City of Gilroy will be rehabilitating eight sections of roadway including sections of:
- Monterey Road
- Farrell Avenue
- Camino Arroyo
- Murray Avenue
- 8th Street
- Chestnut Street
- Martin Street
- San Ysidro Avenue
The work will be completed in phases with Camino Arroyo (Phase 2) and San Ysidro Avenue (Phase 6) scheduled for night-work. Lane closures will be in place. Please plan ahead and take alternate routes where possible.
Work is anticipated to begin mid-April with the main construction work anticipated to be completed by the end of April. This work will be followed by a final treatment and striping which is anticipated to take place in mid-May.
