LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Road Department is planning preventive maintenance treatments in several parts of the county this week.
The fog seal treatment will consist of applying a thin coating of oil over the road surface to seal and preserve the pavement, the department reported.
The coating material must remain undisturbed for one hour following treatment, depending on temperature and humidity, to allow for proper hardening, and so the areas must not be walked or driven on during that time, according to the department. No street parking will be allowed during that time period when the material is curing.
Treatments will take place in the following locations on the dates and times listed below.
Tuesday, Oct. 2
- Pitney Lane: From Elk Mountain Road to Alley Creek Bridge, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Elk Mountain Road: From Rancheria Road to Middle Creek Road, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Middle Creek Road: From Elk Mountain Road to Second Street, 10 a.m. to noon.
- Government Street; From First Street to Highway 20, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Wednesday, Oct. 3
- Seigler Canyon Road: From Perini Road (east intersection) to Loch Lomond Road; one-way traffic control in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with up to one hour delay expected.
Thursday, Oct. 4
- Loch Lomond Road: From Seigler Canyon Road to Highway 175; one-way traffic control in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with up to one hour delay expected.
- Seigler Canyon Road: From Perini Road (east intersection) to Highway 29; one-way traffic control in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with up to one hour delay expected.
The Lake County Road Department asks the community to plan on using alternate routes whenever possible on days the treatments are scheduled, don’t use the areas for parking and not to allow children to play in the treatment areas, as the treatment material is extremely difficult to remove from clothing and hands, requiring the use of kerosene or cleaning solvent.
