LA MESA, Calif. (KGTV) — The City of La Mesa is getting started on a massive construction project, involving nearly 3.5 million square feet of roads in the area. The city says it’s the most extensive slurry seal project in its history.
In the next few weeks, you might see crews preparing streets for slurry. This will prepare the road by removing striping, weeds, and anything else that could prevent the slurry seal from adhering.
After that, they’ll do patchwork, which involves grinding and replacing sections of roads. Crews will also seal cracks by applying an adhesive to small cracks on the road.
The actual slurry application is scheduled for August and September, followed by a restriping of the streets.
Here’s a list of all the streets that will get worked on:
- 70th Street
- Arizona Avenue
- Avenorra Drive
- Aztec Drive
- Baldrich Street
- Baltimore Drive
- Bertro Drive
- Colorado Avenue
- Connecticut Avenue
