Major paving project in Kings Beach

In an effort to wrap up construction activities along Highway 28 through Kings Beach before the July 4  weekend, Q & D plans to repave the eastern portion of the highway this week.

This work will require the grinding of the existing road section between Coon and Beaver streets, and then repaving with asphalt to match the concrete curb and gutter along the edges of the highway. This will require Q & D to work from 6am to 6pm. The highway paving is anticipated to be completed June 26.

During this week’s paving operations and up until July 2, crews will complete as much of the sidewalk improvements as possible on the south side of Highway 28 between Coon Street and the Minnow Avenue parking lot. Placer County Department of Public Works’ goal is to have this section of sidewalk open for use by the Fourth of July weekend.

Although a goal of the project is to provide as much on-highway parking as possible during construction, motorists must be aware that vehicles parked along the south side of the highway between Coon Street and Bear Street, are parked illegally as they block the designated bike lane.
