The city of Fresno is kicking off one of its biggest-ever efforts to improve local roads.
“This is about making life better for the people of Fresno. Whether it’s a neighborhood street or major corridor, every part of our city deserves to be taken care of — and that’s exactly what we’re doing to build a better Fresno.” — Mayor Jerry Dyer
This year’s paving season will deliver 50 miles of improved roadways through a combination of neighborhood paving, major street overlays, capital infrastructure projects, and preventative slurry seal work.
Here are some of the highlights of the $32 million in expenditures:
— 26 paving projects totaling more than $18 million and covering 25 miles
— Five major capital repaving and street improvement projects totaling more than 3 miles and $12 million
— Slurry seal work on 21 miles of roadway at a cost of $1.5 million
The projects stretch across every council district while including neighborhood streets and high traffic corridors. Funding comes from Fresno County’s Measure C transportation sales tax, the state gas tax, and federal ARPA grants.
Two-Fold Strategy Behind Fixing McKinley
“Our roads are aging, and we are improving them one street at a time,” Mayor Jerry Dyer said in a news release. “This is about making life better for the people of Fresno. Whether it’s a neighborhood street or major corridor, every part of our city deserves to be taken care of — and that’s exactly what we’re doing to build a better Fresno.”
“McKinley Avenue is a vital corridor that connects residents and visitors across Fresno — from our airport and Fresno City College to small businesses and neighborhoods.” — Fresno City Councilmember Nelson Esparza
Councilmember Nelson Esparza pointed to the importance of McKinley Avenue and the need to keep it in top-notch condition for residents and visitors.
“McKinley Avenue is a vital corridor that connects residents and visitors across Fresno — from our airport and Fresno City College to small businesses and neighborhoods,” Esparza said. “This project is more than just a repaving effort; it’s a strategic reinvestment in a route that thousands of families, workers, and visitors rely on daily.”
