The City of Carlsbad will resurface portions of some major roadways and neighborhood streets during the next several months as part of the city's annual program to keep the streets free of cracks and potholes. In a project that began in January, work crews are preparing streets for a thin coat of asphalt that seals surfaces in a process called "slurry sealing."
The process involves patching the surface to remove cracks and other defects, then applying a layer of rubberized asphalt concrete to the surface. Streets are selected based on their condition.
The project will begin next month and will affect seven roadways:
• Calle Barcelona between El Camino Real and Rancho Santa Fe Road.
• Carlsbad Village Drive between Concord Street and Tamarack Avenue.
• Madrilena Way, Lucia Court, Bolo Place, Pendon Court and Plazuela Street in La Costa.
