Construction for the City of Citrus Heights' first major Street Resurfacing Project is complete. Over the past construction season, 219 roadway segments received some form of resurfacing, and most were residential streets improved through neighborhood-focused work.

The city says resurfacing is more than laying new asphalt. It covers a range of asphalt preservation techniques, and the right treatment depends on each roadway's condition, traffic and underlying structure.
Not every street needs all four steps, and timing varies. Early phases, especially crack sealing and localized repairs, can make roads look rough or unfinished. The city says this is temporary and a necessary step toward a smoother, longer-lasting surface.
Each roadway is reviewed on its own, so a street may not match nearby roads getting a different treatment.
