San Bernardino will repave 21 streets for an estimated $8.7 million.
The city council recently approved the project, which will cover five and a half miles of roadway citywide according to a statement on the city’s website.
Matich Corp., a Riverside construction and engineering company that specializes in asphalt projects, was awarded the project by the city council. Work is expected to start in May and be finished by October.
“Improving five and a half miles of streets throughout the City demonstrates our commitment to not only bettering the quality of life for our residents but also for everyone who visits and works in San Bernardino,” said Charles Montoya, city manager, in the statement.
The twenty-one streets were selected based on a study completed three years ago.
About $6 million of the money for the project will come from the city’s Measure S local sales tax funds, while nearly $2 million will come from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program. Measure I and Senate Bill 1 Gas Tax funds will provide the remain funding, according to the statement.
