More than 50 miles of roads will soon be repaired in SLO County. Here’s where
San Luis Obispo County will soon receive state funding to repair and resurface more than 50 miles of degrading roadways.
The county is expected to get an estimated $11 million in gas tax funds to fund its Pavement Management Program throughout the 2026-27 fiscal year, according to a county staff report.
The money will go to improving pavement conditions and fixing local highways and roads that have faced delayed maintenance over the years.
The SLO County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the list of projects at its Tuesday meeting.
What SLO County roads will be repaired?
Crews will apply surface treatment to nearly 45 miles of roads across the county to protect the streets against water damage and potholes as well as extend the pavement’s lifespan.
Here are the areas getting road repairs:
- Atascadero: 4.3 miles
- Paso Robles: 13.8 miles
- Templeton: 17.3 miles
- Oceano: 7.9 miles
- Arroyo Grande Mesa: 1.5 miles
Several miles of heavily trafficked roads that have fallen into poor condition in SLO County will also be fixed with “mill-and-fill” patching, since there is no funding to overlay these roads “for the foreseeable future,” according to the staff report.
This strategy will repair the most damaged stretches of street by grinding the failed asphalt and filling it with new asphalt.
“This approach leaves a patchwork of new pavement sections, improving the roads to fair condition by fixing the most damaged portions of the road,” the report said.
Here are the planned locations for “mill-and-fill” maintenance work:
- Los Osos Valley Road in San Luis Obispo and Los Osos: 2 miles
- Noyes Road in Arroyo Grande: 4 miles
- Los Berros Road/Thompson Avenue in Los Berros: 4 miles
- Union Road in Paso Robles: 4 miles
