Bitterwater Road Paving Project in King City

Image result for generic Bitterwater Road paving in King City, California


The City of King is doing everything they can to increase maintenance of their streets and sidewalks. The King City City Council recently adopted a 5-year street and sidewalk capital improvement program which was made possible mostly because of new funding from the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) Measure X sales tax funds and the SB1 increase in the State Gas Tax. It’s also going to be a priority of future local City General Fund revenues. The City of King has already begun construction on this year's street improvements. The 2 road segments determined to be in the worst condition include Bishop Street and a portion of Bitterwater Road between Industrial Way and Airport Road. Resurfacing work of Bishop Street took place during the week of July , while work on Bitterwater Road will occur during the week July 23 to July 27. During this period, travel will be limited to one-way traffic at times when necessary. Therefore, the public is encouraged to prepare for possible delays. The overall plan proposes to gradually resurface a few of the worst streets each year, while at the same time applying slurry seal treatments to streets in better condition to prevent them from getting to a point where they need to be resurfaced. Slurry seal treatments are planned for later in the summer in the Rio Vista Drive area neighborhoods, the Royal Coach neighborhoods, Mildred Avenue north of Broadway Street, Orchard Street, Copley Street, and a portion of Vanderhurst Avenue and Queen Street north of King Street. The City's 5-year street and sidewalk capital improvement program can be viewed on the City's website at www.kingcity.com or you can contact City Hall at 385-3281 with any questions.
