Construction started last night week … overnight construction …. on repaving Pacific Coast Highway.
Overnight work will include pavement repairs and applying a slurry seal coat on PCH from the McClure Tunnel to Cross Creek Road.
Work will take place at night from 10 PM to 6 AM all week.
It’s a 5 and a half million dollar project … funded by that recent gas tax increase.
Out at Trancas … the Caltrans drainage improvements and repairs continue.
The state is digging up clogged drainage pipes … or tunneling under the highway at various little canyons.
And at Escondido Canyon … the two-year-long slope stabilization project is on track to wind up on schedule next month.
Final cement pours have been observed on the retaining wall …. at that annoying 30 mile an hour speed zone near Paradise Cove.
The road will be repaved … the slight shifts in pavement where it has fallen downward will be filled in.
Next week Caltrans expects to shift the eastbound lanes towards the ocean to allow space to complete the remaining median work and final striping.
Caltrans has been bedeviled for decades by an active landslide in that area.
The road was supposedly fixed 30 years ago .. and back in the 1950s it was actually relocated.
Now … it has been pinned to bedrock … and state officials are betting this will be a permanent fix.
Completion is expected by early September.
