Santa Cruz River/Water Paving Project Starts

The City of Santa Cruz is scheduled to begin the River Street and Water Street Overlay Project on Monday, March 16.

Funded by Measure H, Measure D, SB1 gas tax and state grants, the project is rehabbing pavement in two locations: River Street from Madrone Street to Water Street and Water Street from River Street to N. Branciforte Avenue.

Construction will occur weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with traffic control in place. Two-way traffic will continue but motorists should expect minor delays. Parking, bike lanes and pedestrian access will be affected.

The project is expected to conclude in early May.

Any concerns or questions may be addressed to Project Manager Ricardo Valdés, at (831) 420-5198 or RValdes@cityofsantacruz.com.
