The City of Hanford is excited to announce the launch of the FY 24-25 Pavement Resurfacing Treatment (Single and Double Fiberized Slurry) and Manhole and Valve Cover Adjustment Project, set to begin in late August or early September 2025. Funded by Measure H, this initiative aims to enhance the durability, safety, and comfort of Hanford’s roadways, improving the community’s infrastructure.
The project includes applying single fiber seal coating to approximately 156,264.56 square yards (8.32 linear miles) of residential roadways and double fiberized slurry seal coating to approximately 98,684.44 square yards (2.48 linear miles) of arterial roadways. These treatments, selected based on pavement condition assessments, will restore surface integrity, extend pavement life, and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Thanks to additional Measure H funding, the City has expanded the scope of this year’s resurfacing efforts compared to previous years.
In coordination with the resurfacing, a separate contract will adjust approximately 29 manholes and 41 gate valve covers to align with the new pavement grade. This work ensures smoother and safer travel by eliminating uneven surfaces caused by the increased pavement thickness from double fiberized slurry applications.
To minimize disruptions, the awarded contractor, DRYCO, will provide detailed notifications to affected residents and businesses at least one week before work begins in each area. Additionally, “No Parking – Tow Away” signs will be posted 72 hours in advance, indicating specific days and hours of restricted parking. Motorists are asked to remove vehicles from work areas during these times to avoid towing. The City and DRYCO are committed to clear communication and will make every effort to address concerns promptly.
During construction, temporary lane restrictions and limited street access may occur to ensure safe and efficient operations. Motorists are encouraged to reduce speed, follow signage, and watch for flaggers directing traffic in work zones to protect drivers, pedestrians, and construction crews.
“This project reflects our commitment to improving Hanford’s infrastructure using Measure H funds,” said Robbie Buchanan, Assistant Engineer. “By enhancing our roadways and adjusting utility covers, we’re ensuring safer, smoother travel for our community.”
The City of Hanford appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation during this essential work. For questions or concerns, please contact Robbie Buchanan, Assistant Engineer, at (559) 585-2556.
