CONSTRUCTION UPDATES

May 20, 2026 Construction Update

CLARK ROAD: Beginning May 21, 2026, crews will be completing final repair work on Clark Road. This includes repairing the striping on Clark Road between Elliott Road and just north of Central Park Drive, which will require grinding and repaving of a section of the road. During this repair work, periodic lane closures will be in place, but a minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained at all times. The work is anticipated to take approximately one week.

Why is this work needed?
During final review of the recently completed improvements, the Town identified that the installed lane striping in this segment does not provide the intended lane width. To ensure the roadway meets the correct design and safety standards, striping must be adjusted in a short section of pavement. This requires grinding out the existing striping and recessed markers and reinstalling them in the correct configuration.

While this additional work is unfortunate, correcting it now ensures Clark Road operates safely and as intended for drivers, cyclists, emergency vehicles and pedestrians using the adjacent sidewalk. We appreciate the public’s patience while crews complete this final adjustment on this section of Clark Road.

PARADISE ROADWAY REHABILITATION

SPRING 2026 UPDATE

This project will focus on the repair of “On-System” and “Off-System roads” that sustained heavy damage in the wake of the Camp Fire and debris removal efforts.

On-System roads are federal-aid routes that are eligible to receive Federal Highway Administration Emergency Relief Program funds that have suffered serious damage as a direct result of a declared disaster. They also serve as either evacuation routes or primary east-west connections to evacuation routes.

Off-System roads are local neighborhood streets owned and maintained by the Town. These roads are evaluated and prioritized for repair based on factors such as pavement condition, maintenance history, and available funding to ensure the greatest benefit to the community.

2026 PROJECT AREA

The Town of Paradise continues to make significant progress in rebuilding a stronger, safer and more resilient community. In 2025, the Town rebuilt over 100 public roadways that sustained damage during the Camp Fire recovery effort. Plans for 2026 work include rebuilding almost 50 additional roadways.
