This week, city of San Diego crews will begin resurfacing streets in and around Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Peñasquitos and Carmel Valley, it was announced Monday.
Slurry seal is often completed in phases over several days or weeks, and multiple slurry seal projects are happening across the city simultaneously.
Slurry seal is a pavement preservation method consisting of asphalt emulsion, sand and rock. The mixture is applied to the street surface at an average thickness of a quarter inch and extends the life of streets that are already in good condition, reducing the need for costly asphalt overlay and reconstruction processes, according to the city.
The latest slurry projects will be completed, weather permitting, over the next three weeks. The following roads will be resurfaced:

- Carmel Mountain Road;

According to the city, streets are selected for resurfacing through a pavement management system that helps to determine when to schedule streets for repair. Each street segment is assigned an Overall Condition Index based on the pavement's roughness and cracks.
The OCI is used in conjunction with other factors, such as traffic volume, road type, maintenance history, other construction projects and available funding, according to the city. Repairs are often grouped within a neighborhood to include streets that are in similar condition or performed after other projects, such as pipeline replacement.
A complete list of all the city's projects can be found at the Project Finder map here.
