The Sunriver Owners Association will repair and repave approximately 2.5 miles of residential streets in Sunriver through October 15. Eleven residential lanes scattered throughout Sunriver will undergo road base repairs and be overlaid with asphalt as part of the $220,000 road maintenance project. All the streets slated for repair and repaving have defects ranging from wheel ruts to settled spots, potholes and tree root heave, which contribute to broken and uneven road surfaces.
The first phase of the project, taking place Sept. 14-18, is to dig down eight inches and remove tree roots and road base failures, then repack the dig outs with gravel, and cap and level them with asphalt. Roads will remain open during phase one repairs, but traffic will be routed around the dig out work zones.
In phase two, crews will level the roads with a 1.5-inch asphalt overlay. Overlay treatments are scheduled to occur Sept. 21-24 and roads may be closed for up to 11 hours the days they are to be paved. (See schedule below). The end result will be “much smoother and level roads,” said Mark Smith, SROA Public Works Director. “This will be the new standard for the road work we do in the future.”
Decisions about which streets to repair were based on an independent survey of Sunriver roads and pathways by the asphalt management consulting firm, Capitol Asset Management, Inc. The survey rated these roads in “poor” and “very poor” condition. All future road maintenance work will be based on the survey.
Homeowners and guests on the affected streets are permitted to park their vehicles along the edges of neighboring streets so that their vehicles aren’t stuck in their garages or driveways during the closures. Sunriver’s rule against roadside parking is waived during construction on the affected roads but otherwise remains in effect throughout the remainder of Sunriver. Alternate transportation is available via Sunriver’s extensive walking and biking pathway system.
Home owners and occupants on the affected residential streets will be notified one week in advance of closures by road signs and informational fliers hung on door knobs of every home. Crews will go door-to-door the day before the closures to remind homeowners of the all-day road paving closures and to advise of alternate parking arrangements.
This road maintenance project did go out to bid and was awarded to Hooker Creek construction company of Bend, which offered the lowest of three bids received.
SROA’s road maintenance budget will more than triple next year, thanks to member approval of this summer’s reserve ballot measure. In the future, upwards of five miles of Sunriver roads and four miles of pathways will be repaved annually, in addition to other maintenance treatments.
