YAROSLAVSKY ANNOUNCES SLURRY SEAL ROAD PROJECT FOR TOPANGA, CALABASAS, AND WEST HILLS

Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky has announced that a new project will soon be underway to slurry seal approximately seven miles of pavement in Topanga, Calabasas, and unincorporated areas of West Hills.

Slurry seal is a mixture of asphalt and sand applied to existing pavement to seal minor cracks and extend the life of the roadway. This project calls for a type of slurry that uses recycled automobile tires as one of its components.

Yaroslavsky said that bids for the project, at an estimated cost between $135,000 and $160,000, would be opened on April 18 by the County Department of Public Works.

The project is expected to start in July and take 15 working days to complete, ending in August. Once work begins, Viewridge Road, Coastline Drive, and Vanowen Street may be reduced to one traffic lane for both directions controlled by flag operators during daylight working hours. Other project streets may be closed to through traffic while they are being slurry sealed. Local access will be maintained at all times.
