LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A county road construction project in the Cobb area that was stopped temporarily over the summer due to quality concerns is set to restart.

The work is part of the county’s 2024 Pavement Rehabilitation Project, which will resume on Monday, Oct. 13.

The $5 million project was paused over the summer due to quality and durability concerns, as Lake County News has reported.

At the board’s Sept. 9 meeting, the supervisors approved a $1 million change to the contract with Argonaut Constructors Inc. to upgrade the project’s surface treatment from chip
seal to a longer-lasting asphalt paving surface, raising the total contract cost to $6.1 million.

Lake County Public Works said the work that’s slated to begin next week will include grading existing road sections; placing new asphalt pavement, aggregate base and shoulder backing; and adjusting utility covers to match the new road surface.

Public Works said drivers should expect construction activity and possible delays in the Cobb area while the work is underway.
