SAN DIEGO (CNS) — The city of San Diego's ongoing slurry seal program repairing and resurfacing roads around the city will move into Rancho Bernardo and Scripps Ranch in the coming weeks, it was announced Thursday.

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.
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 online at the Project Finder map.
