The City will begin a new round of roadway improvements across various areas this summer as part of its ongoing Pavement Management Program, with projects focusing primarily on major arterial corridors and high-traffic streets.
Oceanside maintains an extensive roadway network of approximately 490 miles of streets and 16 miles of alleys, totaling nearly 90 million square feet of pavement. Maintaining a network of this size requires a data-driven approach to ensure limited funding delivers the greatest impact. Roadway conditions are evaluated regularly and improvements are scheduled to help extend pavement life and maintain reliable travel. The upcoming pavement rehabilitation projects include improvements in several areas:
Additional project areas are being finalized and will be announced soon.
Planned improvements include a variety of pavement treatments designed to improve ride quality and extend the lifespan of city streets, including asphalt grind and overlay, slurry seal applications, and other preventative pavement maintenance.
Construction will occur in phases. Residents may experience temporary impacts such as lane closures or parking restrictions while crews work to improve our roads.
Maintaining streets is an ongoing effort and the Pavement Management Plan will continue to guide needed improvements. Measure X, the City's ½ cent sales tax has helped fund over $34M in road repairs since 2019.
