LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A repaving project will take place on a portion of the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff over the next two weeks, which officials said will result in road closures during daytime hours.

Lake County Public Works' project starts on Wednesday, Nov. 2, and will last until Thursday, Nov. 10.

All traffic from Lakeshore Boulevard to Stokes Avenue will be closed to all traffic between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, the agency reported.

“We're just going to get in there and repave it,” said Public Works Director Scott De Leon.

He said the work, which will be carried out by county road workers rather than a contractor in order to save money, will include grinding out damaged pavement and complete repaving.

The total length of the project is not quite a mile, De Leon said.

De Leon said the project will cost about $180,000, including $131,000 in asphalt costs.

After that project is complete, De Leon said crews plan to make improvements on Renfro Drive in Kelseyville, weather permitting.
