A three-phase crack seal project is set to begin next week along Highway 111 in Rancho Mirage, aimed at preventing water intrusion and slowing pavement deterioration.
The Rancho Mirage Public Works Department announced Tuesday that work will begin May 19, with crews cleaning and sealing asphalt cracks using a specialized material to reduce the risk of potholes.
The first phase will start in the Magnesia Falls East area and continue into neighborhoods adjacent to Highway 111, according to department.
The second phase will focus on southbound Monterey Avenue, between Clancy Lane and Parkview Drive.
The third phase will cover Highway 111 from the west city limits to Bob Hope Drive.
To minimize traffic impacts on one of the city’s busiest corridors, all work will take place during nighttime hours, though temporary lane closures and reduced speed limits will remain in place throughout the day, according to the department.
The project is expected to be completed by June 30, weather permitting.
A slurry seal is also scheduled for fall along the same streets.
According to the city’s website, Rancho Mirage operates on a six-year cycle in which all public streets undergo crack sealing and slurry application.
