Bay Cities will be paving Paseo Del Rio in the Campolindo subdivision area late today (8/9/2024), up to approximately 7 PM due to the service repair delays.
Bay Cities original pavement overlay schedule for today was to complete the final pavement overlay of one side of Paseo Del Rio today (8/9/2024), as the first project street work then move to another smaller project street to work for a few hours. The previous day, Bay Cities removed (milled) all the existing deteriorated Paseo Del Rio asphalt pavement down to the rock base. This milling process exposed a leaking EBMUD water line under the existing pavement and broke an AT&T communication line, all on one side of Paseo Del Rio. Bay Cities shifted paving operations to another smaller street today to allow Paseo Del Rio utility repairs to be performed.
The Town had previously identified the shallow AT&T communication line(s) during the Paseo Del Rio roadway design work and asked AT&T to lower the line(s). AT&T position on how to handle shallow lines, was instead of lowering their AT&T communication lines prior to the Town’s pavement work, that they would have AT&T crews on standby to repair any damage. AT&T crews were called out and they recommending abandoning this communication line repairs as it no longer in use.
As for the leaking EBMUD water line, these situations are sometimes harder to detect in advance and are fixed on an as-needed basis after the existing deteriorated asphalt pavement is removed (milled off).
In order to avoid significant contractor delay claims and return the Paseo Del Rio street to its safest condition, a fully paved street, Bay Cities will begin paving one side of Paseo Del Rio at approximately noon today. This will minimize delay claims and make the street safer, but the paving operation will run late today. The contractor is planning to fully open Paseo Del Rio to two-way traffic around 7 PM tonight. Below is picture of Bay Cities beginning the final pavement “lift” on the east side of Paseo Del Rio street. The final pavement “lift” on the west side of Paseo Del Rio street is planned for Monday, August 12, 2024.
