Five Sacramento streets will be resurfaced with money provided by the federal economic stimulus package, according to a press release from the Department of Transportation.

The streets to receive the overlays will be:

• Truxel Road, from Del Paso Road to Gateway Park Boulevard
• Arena Boulevard, from East Commerce Way to Gateway Park Boulevard
• Arden Way, from Del Paso Boulevard to Evergreen Street
• Florin Road, from 24th Street to Franklin Boulevard
• Calvine Road, from Franklin Boulevard to Bruceville Road

Bids for the project, which is expected to cost $8.1 million, will be posted in late May. Work is anticipated to start in late June.

Additionally, the following streets will also be resurfaced should the city be awarded additional stimulus funds:

• San Juan Road, from Azevedo Drive to Zenobia Way
• T Street, from 16th Street to 30th Street
• 14th Avenue, from 65th Street to Power Inn Road
• El Camino Avenue, from East Levee Road to Business Loop 80

In addition, the Department of Transportation has announced four streets targeted for the annual overlay program. This work will be paid for by the half-cent sales tax enacted by Measure A.

• Arden Way, eastbound only, from Ethan Way to the railroad track bridge deck, just past Blumenfeld Drive
• T Street, from 30th Street to 34th Street
• Riverside Boulevard, from Park Riviera Way to Deer River Way
• Intersection of Stockton Boulevard & Broadway, 600 feet in each direction

Inquiries made by the Sacramento Press to the city about how long the roads had been waiting for resurfacing and the safety benefits provided by resurfacing roads were unanswered as of press time. Updates will be posted should any further information be received.
