2026 Slurry Seal Program

The 2026 Slurry Seal Program is a forecast project managed by Tulare County Public Works to perform slurry sealing on approximately 9 miles of existing paved roadways within unincorporated communities in California. The project focuses on preserving the underlying pavement structure and extending service life to provide a renewed driving surface without expanding roadway capacity or adding travel lanes. Work will be conducted on existing roads, including segments within subdivisions featuring curb and gutter, across several key locations including South Visalia, Ivanhoe, Porterville, Springville, Pixley, and Strathmore. Construction is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2026 and conclude in the fourth quarter of 2026. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237310 and is certified as categorically exempt from CEQA under Class 1, Section 15301, as it constitutes repair and maintenance of existing facilities. Key personnel overseeing the project include Project Engineer Claudia Sanchez and Environmental Assessment Officer Reed Schenke. The program covers a wide array of specific streets and avenues across the identified regions to ensure comprehensive pavement preservation.
