CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA (MPG) - Sunrise Boulevard, between the intersections of Greenback Lane and Madison Avenue in Citrus Heights, is about to get smoother as major resurfacing of the busy roadway begins May 19.
Work on the Sunrise Boulevard resurfacing project, expected to be completed by mid-July, will take place nightly from 8 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. and involve multi-lane road closures, according to Citrus Heights communications officer Marisa Brown.

The area which will be resurfaced also includes Macy Plaza Drive from Sunrise Boulevard to Birdcage Street. According to the city, this project is considered a “resurfacing” project and not comprehensive repaving.
Both streets will receive a special three-layer, multi-stage resurfacing treatment and most of the work will be done at night, except for the edge grinding scheduled to take place only during the day May 19.
A sign from the City of Citrus Heights located on Sunrise Boulevard displays the message, “Beautifying our city together.”
The project will finish by refreshing crosswalks with a colored brick pattern and restripe lane lines, crosswalks and pavement legends. These improvements will increase visibility for pedestrians and non-vehicle users, Brown said.
Residents should watch for slower posted speed limits within the general project area and the potential for loose gravel on the roadway, according to Brown.

The Sunrise Boulevard Resurfacing Project is part of the city's effort to further its Three-Year Pavement Preservation Plan (PPP) and support economic reinvestment of the city’s commercial corridors, Brown said.
