DUNNIGAN, CA (MPG) - This summer, Yolo County Public Works will use a portion of state gas tax funding to resurface approximately 26 miles of roadway throughout Yolo County as part of the County’s 2026 Pavement Preservation Project. 

“Maintaining safe and reliable roads is one of the most important services we provide to our residents,” said Yolo County District 5 Supervisor Angel Barajas. “The last time these roads were resurfaced was a little over 25 years ago. This investment will help preserve critical roadway infrastructure in Dunnigan and the surrounding communities, improve driving conditions and ensure these roads continue to serve residents, businesses and agricultural operations for years to come.”

Scheduled to continue through late September, the 2026 Pavement Preservation Project will focus on improving county roads in and around the town of Dunnigan, north of the City of Woodland including a portion of County Road 102, and along County Road 28H between County Roads 102 and 103 west of the Yolo County Central Landfill.

The project is designed to extend the life of existing roadways and improve driving conditions for residents and visitors. Work will include localized pavement repairs followed by the application of three pavement preservation treatments across the full width of the roadway: Micro-Surfacing Type III seal, asphalt rubber chip seal, and then Micro-Surfacing Type II seal. County Road 28H will receive a more extensive rehabilitation treatment, including replacement of the top four inches of asphalt pavement. All treated roadways will be restriped following the final surface treatment.

Residents are encouraged to follow all posted signage and contractor instructions, including temporary parking restrictions on treatment days. Most roads included in the project will receive three successive treatments, with approximately one week between each application. It is important that roadways remain clear during scheduled treatment periods to allow crews to safely and efficiently complete the work.

To stay informed throughout construction, residents can view Yolo County’s Road Improvement GIS Map, available at www.YoloCounty.gov/RoadImprovement or contact the Department of Community Services, Public Works Division, at (530) 666-8811 with questions or concerns.

The bid opening for the 2026 Pavement Preservation Project was held on May 14. VSS International, based out of West Sacramento, submitted the lowest bid at $5,542,120 and was awarded the contract for the work. Funding for the project is provided through Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds and Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) revenues distributed by the State of California. As construction approaches in each project area, the contractor will provide neighborhood notifications to help residents anticipate work schedules and minimize disruptions.
