Moraga's largest pavement repair project ever undertaken starts now
Residents of Lafayette's Burton Valley neighborhood recently took issue with repairs to their roads, but Moraga residents need not worry. The repair program that will address 50 percent of the neighborhood streets in Moraga over the next two months will leave the streets smooth and gravel free according to Edric Kwan, town engineer and public works director.
The project will be carried out on most streets in two phases. First, an asphalt rubber chip seal will be applied. This is a rough treatment that needs to cure for seven days; residents will be asked to drive very carefully during this time. Then a smooth micro-surfacing treatment will be applied and the road will have to be closed for one full day to give it time to dry.
Repairs to cracks and other damaged areas began this week. A website, www.moraga.ca.us/paving, and a Facebook page have been established to provide up-to-date work schedules to residents. Signs will be posted several days in advance of work so residents can make plans. Lamorinda Weekly will also provide progress reports about the largest road maintenance project the town has ever undertaken.
