PITTSBURG, CA – As part of Pittsburg’s ongoing efforts to improve roadways throughout the City, the City will address a major need along a high-volume industrial corridor. The upcoming project includes pavement rehabilitation and new striping along Loveridge Road from State Route 4 to Pittsburg-Antioch Highway.
The slated improvements will support the City’s goal of implementing the pavement management program to help ensure timely maintenance of frequently traveled roadways. The project is being funded through a $2.4 million One Bay Area Grant, as well as a nearly $2 million match from City local funds via the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Gas Tax Fund(RMRA) and Measure M Fund.
“The City Council has been consistent with their desire to improve the pavement condition of our roads. We are grateful to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and Caltrans for their funding assistance on this project that will repair this essential section of road”, said John Samuelson, Public Works Director/City Engineer for Pittsburg. “We appreciate the community’s patience with delays caused by the construction.”
The roadway improvements to this area will also serve the City of Pittsburg’s Economic Development goals through the provision of high-quality infrastructure that supports businesses in the area.
“We understand the need for the rehabilitation of this roadway segment. The team has worked hard to move this project into construction, and we are excited to deliver a high-quality roadway to the residents and local businesses,” says Associate Engineer and life-long Pittsburg resident Gabriel Piña.
The improvements along Loveridge Road is currently underway, and are expected to take 4-6 weeks. A majority of the work will be performed in the evening and overnight, in an effort to minimize the impact to the businesses and employees who travel the area each day.
