The Bridge crew will also be repairing about 50 feet of Guard Rail on Lakeville Rdm Monday, then moving to Geysers Rd Tuesday to begin a pile wall repair. A crane will be moved in for this project, so some traffic delays along Geysers Rd can be expected.
The Healdsburg crew was out on Saturday crack sealing River Rd in the Fulton area. The Saturday work was an effort to avoid the heavy weekly commute traffic in this area. This Saturday they are scheduled to crack seal Fulton Rd between River Rd and the RR crossing – traffic delays can be expected. The crew completed the patching and crack sealing on Olivet Rd last week so that route is now ready for chip seal this summer. This week the crew will be roadside mowing and pothole filling in the northern area.
Cotati crew will be on Stony Point Rd Monday and Tuesday back filling the culvert and placing rip rap around the outlet end of the pipe. A second crew will begin shoulder cleanup work on High School Rd between Sebastopol city limits and Occidental Rd in preparation of a summer chip seal. One lane traffic controls will be in place for both projects. On Tuesday and Wednesday they will be assisting CDF with roadside brushing along Petersen Ln – today they plan to have a pothole crew in the west county area, Burnside Rd, Mill Station Rd area.
Annapolis crew will be on Stewarts Point Skaggs Sprints Rd this week digging and filling soft spots in the road, and cleaning slides out of one section of ditch.
The Sonoma crew has postponed work this week on London Ranch Rd due to equipment break down. They will be potholing and roadside mowing in the Sonoma area this week.
The Traffic crew has resumed their seasonal painting of road markings – stop bars, crosswalks, etc.. They currently only have one Stencil Truck in service, the second truck broke down last summer and was too costly to repair. Their replacement truck is on order and currently has not yet been delivered. They are beginning work in the Healdsburg area.
