Micro-Paving to Lead to Delays This Weekend

From the Santa Clara County Office of Public Affairs:

The micro-surface paving at the intersection of San Tomas Expressway and El Camino Real in Santa Clara was postponed last weekend due to rain and has been rescheduled for Saturday, April 16 and Sunday, April 17. Motorists are advised to expect traffic delays. The roadway resurfacing is part of San Tomas/El Camino Intersection Improvements Project.

Road resurfacing will begin at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 16 and continue through Sunday, April 17 during daylight hours. At various times, through lanes will be reduced, and left and/or right-turn lanes will be closed. The closures will require drivers to go to the next intersection to make turns. Travelers are advised to avoid this intersection and choose another route during the weekend.

Micro-surface paving is a preventive maintenance treatment that extends the life of the road surface in an economical way, while causing the least amount of inconvenience to residents and the traveling public while the work is taking place.

Message signs are in place to provide advance notice to motorists of the upcoming work. Motorists’ understanding and patience are greatly appreciated.
