Poway's annual street maintenance program is nearly a year-round effort, but it is the asphalt repair and slurry seal work between May and September that motorists will notice the most.
Street work during these phases require lane closures, which will change daily as the contractor completes repairs in each section of the road. Police, fire and emergency medical vehicles will have access at all times during construction.
This year's project will address deep patch asphalt repairs on Pomerado Road (from Poway Road to southern city limit), Poway Road (western city limit to Community Road) and residential streets in Zone 8 of the city's street maintenance zones. Work on Pomerado Road and Poway Road will be completed overnight Monday through Friday from 7:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. All work on the residential streets will be completed during regular business hours, Monday through Friday.
Message signs will be placed to notify motorists of current road work information. Please watch for upcoming construction signage for exact times of work.
Poway is known for having some of the best roads in the county – and that’s not by chance. Poway maximizes the use of public funds by applying the right treatment at the right time to extend the life of the pavement. This approach maximizes pavement life using available and anticipated funding to keep the City’s streets in good condition. Learn about Poway's "zone approach" and why the old saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is true when it comes to roads in Poway.
The second phase will start in July and run through the end of August and will place a slurry seal on the same streets as the deep patch repairs were done.
