Public works says Mark Avenue pavement failure may require temporary closure
Summary
Public works staff reported a pavement failure on a Mark Avenue project that has caused pieces of pavement to break up; staff said heat worsened the condition and the road may remain closed until repaired for safety.
Brandon, public works staff, told the board that a section of pavement on the Mark Avenue project had deteriorated rapidly in recent heat and presented a safety hazard. "With this heat, that road just started exploding on us, and it's just not safe," he said, and described an incident in which a large piece of pavement struck a vehicle.
He said he coordinated a detour route and planned to keep the road closed until repairs are completed and the surface is safe for traffic. The board did not object to the temporary closure; Brandon said he would keep supervisors informed about the repair schedule and any additional safety actions needed.
The update also included equipment and staffing notes for ongoing maintenance work and an equipment issue that taken a truck out of service for inspection.
