City officials announced Monday that Del Mar’s widest road is set to receive two inches of fresh blacktop as part of a $3.5 million paving and striping program, scheduled to be completed by next May.
The Jimmy Durante Boulevard project will replace all pavement between the southern side of the intersection of Via de la Valle and the San Dieguito River Bridge.
“A revised striping plan is designed to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety. In particular, planned striping with green paint is designed to make drivers and bicyclists more aware of each other as they share the road,” the city said in a statement.
“A three-month construction phase is expected to be completed by May 2026…. During construction, traffic will be maintained in both directions.”
At least 340,000 square feet of pavement is scheduled for repair, amounting to six football fields, representing nearly 8% of the pavement infrastructure that Del Mar maintains.
Officials said the improvements will fit within the existing curb-to-curb width, with existing curbs, gutters and sidewalks remaining intact. Project improvements will include asphalt replacement, structural repairs to the subsurface, if needed, and reflective traffic striping, according to a presentation during a Dec. 1 City Council meeting.
The road segment is about three-quarters of a mile and ranges in width from 40 to 112 feet, which includes multiple lanes in each direction, dedicated turn lanes, a striped median, and northbound and southbound bicycle lanes, according to an agenda report from the city.
The total cost for the $3.5 million project breaks down as follows:
design, $57,300; estimated construction cost, $2,760,000; construction contingency (10%), $276,000 and; the remaining budget to be used for construction management, inspection, materials testing, engineering services during construction, $406,700.Funding for the project was allocated from several sources, including the General Fund, SB-1, TransNet, Measure Q, State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds and the Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program.
