Project Overview

The SR-118 Pavement Rehabilitation Project will repave 2.8 miles of Los Angeles Avenue from Spring Road to Montair Drive in Moorpark and provide other upgrades.

Background

Los Angeles Avenue in the city of Moorpark is a heavily traveled conventional state highway and arterial route for the city and surrounding areas and is in need of pavement rehabilitation. This project will extend the service life of the existing pavement, provide increased safety and mobility for the traveling public, and bring the highway into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Project Benefits

·      Repave 2.7 miles of conventional highway in both directions between Spring Road and Montair Drive.  

·      Install new signal poles at six intersections.

·      Upgrade 31 curb ramps to ADA standards.

·      Install 2,785 linear feet of new guardrail.

·      Install 46 Accessible Pedestrian Signals and touch-free pedestrian push buttons.

·      Construct 705 linear feet of new sidewalk.

·      Install two Traffic Census Count Stations.

Schedule

Summer 2025 to Fall 2027

Work Hours

Day: Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. with minimal lane closures.
Night: 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. for a total of 26 nights of lane closures over eight weekends. (Until 7 a.m. on Saturdays and 12 p.m. on Sundays).

What to Expect

Most of the work for this project will occur during daytime hours Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to as late as 5 p.m., with minimal lane closures. When sidewalks are blocked, alternate paths will be provided. Initial work will focus on reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs and ADA ramps at intersections with no electrical components. 

Then the contractor will shift to concrete paving overnights over a period of eight weekends on Friday and Saturday nights, done in segments. Then the asphalt section of the highway will be repaved over a total of ten work nights, Monday through Thursday, also done in segments.

Local residents and businesses should expect that overnight construction will be noisy, but the noise level will not exceed 86 dBA at 50 feet from the job site from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Each individual section of roadway that is progressively repaved will be demolished, paved and reopened to traffic in one night of work. Caltrans will monitor and adjust signal timing during construction to minimize queuing at intersections.

After paving, work will shift to striping; curb, sidewalk and ramp work at intersections with electrical components; installing signals; and installing guardrail. The two-year project is only expected to include a total of 26 nights of overnight lane restrictions.
