Road repairs are beginning in these San Diego neighborhoods

SAN DIEGO — Major road repairs are coming soon to neighborhoods across San Diego.

Crews began resurfacing streets Wednesday in Clairemont, Bay Ho, City Heights, Ridgeview and Emerald Hills as part of a new slurry seal project, city officials said in a news release.

“Preventing the deterioration of streets is vital to improving the overall condition of San Diego’s network of roads. It reduces the need for a more costly asphalt overlay and reconstruction for badly deteriorated streets,” the city said.

Slurry seal, a cost-effective pavement preservation method that consists of asphalt emulsion, sand and rock, is applied to the street surface at an average thickness of a quarter inch and extends the life of already in-good-condition streets, according to the city.

The timeline for the repairs, weather permitting, will be complete over the next three weeks.
