Several City of San Diego neighborhoods will soon have improved and safer streets thanks to the continuing slurry seal program that is repairing and resurfacing roads citywide. Over the next few weeks, the City will be resurfacing streets in and around the communities of Bankers Hill, Linda Vista, and Pacific Beach.

Preventing the deterioration of streets is key to improving the overall condition of San Diego’s road network and reduces the need for more costly asphalt overlay and reconstruction required for badly deteriorated streets.

Slurry seal is often completed in phases over a period of several days or weeks and there are multiple slurry seal projects happening across the city at the same time. This year’s storms delayed road repairs and maintenance, but recent weather conditions have allowed field crews to continue that work.

The latest slurry project will be completed, weather permitting, over the next three weeks. The following roads will be resurfaced:

• Juniper Street from First Avenue to Second Avenue
• Juniper Street from Second Avenue to Third Avenue
• Juniper Street from Third Avenue to Fourth Avenue

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

Streets are selected for resurfacing through a pavement management system that helps to determine when to schedule streets for resurfacing. Each street segment is assigned an Overall Condition Index (OCI) based on the pavement’s roughness and cracks.

To prioritize street paving, the OCI is used in conjunction with other factors, such as traffic volume, road type, maintenance history, other construction projects, and available funding. Repairs are often grouped within a neighborhood to include streets that are in similar conditions or performed after other projects, such as pipeline replacement.
