Construction Work Ramps Up Spring to Fall

With 60 million square feet of local roads, Concord is responsible for maintenance of a lot of pavement! Following a very productive year of roadwork around the city, crews are gearing up for another busy construction season.

Beginning in April, you will see a variety of projects (see project map - PDF) get underway, including:

• Fiber construction and pavement rehabilitation on Treat Boulevard, phase 2 (San Miguel Rd. to Clayton Rd.) • Willow Pass sewer and paving project, year 1 of 2 (Landana Dr. to Gateway Blvd.)
• Pavement maintenance on Alberta Way (Clayton Rd. to Ygnacio Valley Rd.)
• Clayton Road fiber installation (Farm Bureau Rd. to Washington Blvd.)
• Monument Boulevard fiber installation and pavement rehabilitation (Detroit Ave. To Mohr Ln.) - in progress • Pavement maintenance of Cowell Road (Babel Ln. to Ygnacio Valley Rd.)

In addition, 13 residential neighborhoods are scheduled to undergo pavement maintenance.

This is all part of the City's five-year roadway maintenance plan made possible by Measure V, the one-cent use and transaction tax passed by Concord voters in November 2020. Measure V enabled the City to borrow $114 million at the low interest rate of 1.88% to make an immediate investment in roads, with construction beginning in 2023.

The plans for this year's work are detailed on our interactive Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) map, available at cityofconcord.org/CIP.

The draft CIP for fiscal years 2024-26 is expected to go to Council for a study session on May 7.

In addition, Concord's Engineering team created a new web page showing timely information about which projects are expected to create traffic impacts. View it at cityofconcord.org/trafficimpacts.
