Recycled Water Project Construction Update: Resurfacing and Traffic Signal Loop Installations on Lammers Road Between Byron Road and South of Kimball High School

Road resurfacing work related to the ongoing Recycled Water Project has begun on Lammers Road, between Byron and South of Kimball High School.  After the grinding of the pavement this week, work will begin to install new traffic signal loops and paving operations are expected to start early next week.  In an effort to minimize traffic impacts to local residents, schools, neighbors and motorists, this construction work was scheduled to coincide with summer break for our local schools and is expected to be complete by August 2, 2019 (barring any unforeseen delays).  During this phase of the project, one open lane in each direction will be maintained, with occasional flag restrictions to safely facilitate traffic in the area, as-needed. 

Construction for this project has been completed in multiple phases, with work planned on a street segment-by-segment basis.  This is being done to avoid cumulative delays, longer detours and minimize inconvenience to our community.  Reader boards are being placed onsite prior to the start of construction to notify drivers who frequent the area of the upcoming changes.  Additionally, construction notices/updates are being issued on a timely basis as this project progresses until expected completion: early 2020. 

The City of Tracy Recycled Water Master Plan outlines construction of recycled water infrastructure throughout the City, with major transmission lines running from the Wastewater Treatment Plant to Lammers Road, south of Eleventh Street, via Grant Line and Byron Roads.  The recycled water will serve the irrigation needs of street medians, right-of-way landscaping, City parks and Tracy sports fields (including Legacy Fields, Plasencia Fields and the Tracy Sports Complex).  The recycled water will also serve the irrigation needs of onsite landscaping in commercial and industrial facilities in the Tracy community.  In the future, recycled water may also attract major economic development projects and serve the needs of new developments within the City’s General Plan area.  This project improves Tracy’s water reliability and sustainability of water resources.  Additional information about the Recycled Water Project can be found on the City of Tracy website: https://www.ci.tracy.ca.us/?navid=6344.

What to Expect During Construction July 22-August 2, 2019

During construction, public safety is the top priority. To minimize delays, one lane will

remain open in each direction at all times, with flaggers occasionally being used on an as-needed basis to safely facilitate the flow of traffic in the area.  Access to residences and properties will be maintained at all times.  Local residents and the traveling public should anticipate extra delays in the area during construction. 

We apologize for the traffic impacts this work may cause and appreciate your patience.
