SANTA PAULA — The City of Santa Paula will launch its Fall 2025 Pavement Improvement Project on Friday, October 31, 2025, continuing the City’s commitment to maintaining safe, accessible, and well-maintained streets. The project will enhance roadway safety, extend pavement life, and improve accessibility throughout the community. Work is expected to continue through Wednesday, November 26, 2025, lasting approximately four weeks.
The Fall 2025 Pavement Improvement Project will include resurfacing, striping, and accessibility upgrades along several key corridors — Main Street, McKevett Road, Teague Drive, Teracina Drive, Loma Vista Drive, Vuelta Place, and Mill Street. These coordinated efforts will provide smoother, safer travel for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists throughout Santa Paula, with Main Street serving as the project’s primary focus area.
Along Main Street, construction will include repaving and the installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps. Improvements will extend from Main Street to Telegraph Road, including areas near the future Harvard Boulevard–Telegraph Road–Main Street Roundabout Project. The roundabout, currently in design development, is intended to improve traffic flow, enhance safety, and provide a more efficient intersection for both vehicles and pedestrians.
The City recognizes that construction in these areas may cause temporary impacts to businesses and residents and is committed to maintaining access and minimizing disruptions wherever possible.
The Fall 2025 Pavement Improvement Project is being implemented in direct coordination and correlation with the ongoing Caltrans road improvement work at Hallock Drive and Highway 126, part of the broader State Route 126 (SR-126) Improvement Project. By aligning both initiatives, the City and Caltrans aim to deliver cohesive roadway upgrades that enhance traffic flow, improve safety, and strengthen the long-term transportation infrastructure serving Santa Paula and the surrounding region.
Construction activities will occur in phases throughout the project duration. Street grinding and cold milling will take place in mid-November, followed by asphalt paving and final striping before completion in late November. During this time, motorists should expect temporary lane closures and brief traffic delays in active work areas. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, reduce speeds near construction zones, and follow all posted signage to help ensure the safety of both workers and the public.
The City of Santa Paula appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation during this important infrastructure investment. “This project represents our continued commitment to investing in Santa Paula’s future,” said City Manager Dan Singer. “By improving our streets and infrastructure, we’re enhancing safety, accessibility, and overall quality of life for residents while ensuring our community continues to thrive for years to come. We thank our residents and local businesses for their understanding and support as we complete these upgrades.”
