OAKLAND AVENUE REPAIR WORK EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 16 – 

The Piedmont Public Works Department, aided by Pacific General Engineering, has completed a portion of the emergency road work on Oakland Avenue between Bonita and Hillside Avenues. The City anticipates that normal traffic will be able to flow on this block until Friday morning (2/16). Motorists are advised to travel this block with care.

The City anticipates traffic control to be implemented on Friday morning to inspect the recently poured concrete. If it has sufficiently cured, the plates will be removed. If it has not sufficiently cured, the plates will be replaced and additional work will be necessary next week. Should additional work to ensure safety be necessary before Friday, traffic control will be implemented.

The section of concrete that appeared to be undermined has been removed, the surface under the roadway has been compacted, and a new portion of concrete roadway has been poured. Crews will place steel plates over the newly poured concrete, and the plates will be left in place until Friday morning (2/16) to allow the concrete to cure.

The City will provide an additional update on Friday to advise residents of the status of the work.

Residents with questions can call the Public Works Department at (510) 420-3050 during normal business hours.
