City of Vallejo Road Repair Project is Underway!

“Your Measure P Tax Dollars at Work”

Big improvements are coming to Vallejo streets, and it’s all thanks to your support of Measure P! The City of Vallejo has kicked off its 2025 Road Repair Project to make our streets smoother, safer, and longer-lasting. We're using a smart, cost-effective method called Cape Seal to refresh and protect our roads for years to come.

What’s Happening and When?

• September: Crews are hard at work prepping the roads — fixing curbs, gutters, and getting the pavement ready.
• October: The Cape Seal process begins! This two-step treatment strengthens the road and gives it a fresh, clean finish.
• November: The Cape Seal process continues. We expect all work to be wrapped up and your improved roads ready to roll by November 21^st.

In addition to this Cape Seal project, several other road repair projects are picking up speed. The first of these, featuring both ADA-compliant ramp installations and asphalt rehabilitation, officially went out to bid on September 3 and will close on September 25. The Public Works team anticipates breaking ground on the concrete work by late November, with asphalt paving scheduled to begin in early 2026.

The second major road rehabilitation project is currently in the design and costing phase. Once finalized, the team will present the plan to the Measure P Committee to secure construction funding and move the project forward.

We will share more on these projects as the details become available.

What is a Cape Seal?

Cape Seal is a two-step road treatment that:

• Extends the life of the pavement by up to 10 years
• Is more cost-effective than full repaving
• Leaves a smooth, clean finish

How It Works:

Step 1: Chip Seal

• A special asphalt mixture is sprayed on the road.
• Then, small gravel chips (about 3/8 inch) are spread on top.
• This layer helps seal cracks and strengthen the road.

You might hear a crunching sound when driving on it — that’s normal!
Please drive slowly during this stage.

Step 2: Curing

• The road needs about 7 days to settle.
• Loose gravel will be swept up after curing.

Step 3: Slurry Seal

• A second, smoother layer is applied.
• This seals everything in, fills small cracks, and gives the road a fresh, black finish.

Important:

• Driving on the slurry too soon can damage the surface.
• Loose stones may stick to your car or crack windshields.
• The material can stain driveways and vehicles.

Please follow all posted road closure signs.

Final Step: Opening to Traffic

Once everything is cured, the road will reopen — smoother and stronger than before!

Thank You, Vallejo!

This project is made possible by Measure P, a local tax measure approved by voters like you. Your investment is helping us build a better, safer Vallejo — one street at a time.

HAWK Intersection Improvements at Five Locations Project

Public Works is beginning work on the HAWK Intersection Improvements at Five Location Project. Construction is anticipated to commence on June 2, 2025 and end on September 8, 2025.

The Project involves work to enhance pedestrian safety at five unsignalized intersections by installing High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) beacons, construction of ADA curb ramps, removing and replacing curb, gutter, sidewalk; hot-mix asphalt paving; installation of pedestrian barricades; and lowering and raising of existing utilities.

Locations included are as follows:

Broadway Street / Hampshire Street

Broadway Street / Illinois Street

Springs Road / Lassen Street / Hilton Avenue

Springs Road / Tregaskis Avenue

Springs Road / Heartwood Avenue
