Hacienda Road Opening

Hacienda Road will re-open on Tuesday, February 11, 2020. The project’s geotechnical company, GMU, installed an inclinometer and survey markers on the hillside on Tuesday, January 28, 2020. GMU will conduct readings of the inclinometer every two weeks to see if there is any movement under the newly improved road. Los Angeles County Public Works has confirmed that the gate in Hacienda Heights, by the temple, will be removed on Monday, February 10, 2020.

The washboard area North of Skyline has been repaved and the striping of Hacienda Road from the North end to the South end will be completed tonight. The Southern California Edison pole in the failure area will be relocated on Monday, February 10, 2020.

Please remember to drive slow and cautiously when Hacienda re-opens. Wildlife in the area has enjoyed the quiet and empty road during the closure. Be on the lookout for deer, bobcats, coyotes, rabbits, squirrels and other wildlife that may find their way onto the road after it re-opens. Keep safety in mind for you, other drivers and the animals.

If you have any questions please

Special Roads Advisor y Committee Update

On Monday, February 3, 2020 the Roads Advisory Committee held a special meeting to discuss administrative items that would be recommended to City Council for final approval next month.

The first was the Pavement Management Program 2019 - 2024 Final Report . The committee made minor changes to the document by adding particular language from the PMP and City engineer about types of recommendations for road repairs. This document represents a planning tool for future road projects within the City.

The second item was the Crack Seal Project Update . This project identifies certain streets that need road crack maintenance. The committee recommended that future road repairs proposals include crack seal projects within overall road repair bids.

Another item was the 2019 - 2020 Street Improvement Design Proposal that outlines the design for the street improvement project that will begin during the summer of 2020. With recommendations from the Committee, the City will work with NV5, the awarded contractor, to create a project schedule within the final contract that will ensure road maintenance is completed within a timely manner.
