The major repair of a section of Rheem Boulevard between Moraga Road and St. Mary's Rd was supposed to start on June 15. Even the signs posted at both access to the arterial said so. But no work has started yet.
Moraga Public Work Director Edric Kwan confirmed that Summerhill had the permission to close the road since they had all of the needed approvals. "The town is requesting for Summerhill to update their signage and have it be clearer on the closure location," said Kwan.
Summerhill confirmed that they had agreed to schedule the road closure to start on June 15. "Summerhill and the town worked together to finalize some design components, which took longer than expected," said Summerhill's John Hickey. This was completed around June 21 and the contractor is now tentatively rescheduling the road closure to start on July 5. Hickey promised that the road closure signs would be covered temporarily until they can be updated.
"We'll also ask the town to provide an update on their website," he said. How much will this delay affect the completion of the road rehabilitation has not been clarified yet. - S. Braccini
