Pavan Prasad, junior engineer with the City of Fairfield Public Works Department, laid out key points for residents to plan around during the Rancho Salano resurfacing.
Prasad said the chip-seal layer is drivable almost immediately after placement, so “there'll be no access restrictions to driveways as the roadway surface is drivable almost immediately after the placement of the chip seal.” He warned that after crews apply the microsurface, traffic must stay off the road for approximately two to four hours to let the new surface set. Street sweepers will clear loose aggregate during the one-to-two week settling period between layers.
The city will post weekly maps on the project web page showing current work locations. If weather or other issues delay work, residents will receive a 48-hour notice before the revised start date. For immediate questions, the Public Works contact number provided was (707) 428-7485.
Residents with mobility concerns or scheduled deliveries during work windows should contact Public Works ahead of time to request guidance or temporary accommodations.
