LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Upcoming paving and road maintenance projects planned in north Lakeport in Lucerne are expected to result in some road closures, according to the Lake County Road Department.
In an effort to better maintain local roads, the agency said it will be paving an area of Hill Road and applying a preventative maintenance treatment called chip seal on 13th Avenue in Lucerne.
The paving and chip seal projects will occur as follows:
– Tuesday, Sept. 10: Full closure of Hill Road, from Scotts Valley Road to Shady Lane in north Lakeport, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
– Wednesday, Sept. 18: Full closure of Hill Road, from Scotts Valley Road to Shady Lane in north Lakeport, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
– Tuesday, Sept. 24: Full closure of 13th Avenue, from Highway 20 to Country Club Drive in Lucerne, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
– Friday, Sept. 27: Full closure of 13th Avenue, and Highway 20 to Country Club Drive in Lucerne, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There will be full closures on those roadways during those dates and times. All traffic will need to use alternative routes and residents on the affected roadways will need to ensure that vehicles are parked out of the right-of-way, officials said.
The chip seal treatment will consist of applying a coating of road oil covered with gravel chips over the entire paved surface to seal and preserve pavement.
The Lake County Road Department is asking the public not to park or drive on the treated roadways during construction. Children should not be allowed to play near the treated areas.
