SLO County is repaving over 100 roads this fall. Is yours on the list?

Road work

Watch out drivers, you may run into traffic when commuting in San Luis Obispo County this fall as a result of countywide roadwork.

During October and November, the SLO County Public Works Department will perform microsurface paving on over 100 rural and residential roads across the county, causing one-way traffic control and flagging during work, the county said in a news release.

Microsurface paving is a cost-effective method to keep roads in good condition by providing a new wearing surface.

Paving will take place in 118 different locations in Nipomo, Oceano, Los Ranchos/Edna, Palo Mesa, rural Arroyo Grande, Pozo and rural San Miguel. Road striping replacements will occur through November, too, with minimal delays.

A full list and maps of specific work locations can be found online at bit.ly/48fP0Zf, but a time schedule has not yet been published.

Residents will be notified with door hangers in both English and Spanish three days before work on their street begins, the release said.

Parking on streets being microsurface paved will be prohibited on work days, with temporary “No Parking” signs giving advanced warning before and on the work day. Driveway access will be restricted to emergency needs only for a few hours to all for the product to cure. San Luis Obispo County maintains approximately 1,100 miles of paved roads.
