CLEARLAKE, Calif. – City officials said two long-awaited road projects are about to get under way in Clearlake.

The first to start is the Highlands Harbor/Harbor Lane project, set to begin on May 1 and continue through approximately June 20, the city reported.

Community members are advised to expect traffic delays in the area under flagged control.

There will be hard traffic closures on June 5 and 6 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. These closures are necessary for the micro-surface to dry adequately and avoid transfer to vehicles. notification of closures will be sent directly to area residents.

The second project is the Moss/Davis rehabilitation starting on May 7, the city reported.

Moss Avenue and Davis Avenue provide the primary access to Eastlake Landfill. The project is funded through a shared maintenance agreement between the city and the county, which operates the landfill.

Expect delays as work will continue through June 30. There will be a pilot car assisting traffic through the area during construction.

“With spring upon us we are kicking off another busy season of roadwork,” said City Manager Alan Flora. “The Moss/Davis and Highlands Harbor area projects are just the first two of this construction season, with gravel road grading and maintenance and pothole patching and crack sealing of many streets starting as well.

He added, “While there are many areas of the city with roads needing attention, the community’s support of Measure V is generating needed funds to dramatically improve our public streets.”
