Between Seal Beach Blvd and Bolsa Chica (City of Seal Beach) 

 Lane striping is scheduled over 2 weeks during the nighttime hours between 9 p.m. – 6 a.m. on:  Monday, June 21, Tuesday, June 22 (if needed), and Monday, June 28.

Street restoration and final paving activities of over 1 mile (7,000 feet) along Westminster Blvd. between Kitts Highway (east of Seal Beach Blvd.) and Bolsa Chica Rd is taking place.  Paving has already taken place. The paving limits were primarily within the excavation area of where the construction of two new regional sewer pipelines occurred.  Lane striping will allow for vehicular travel lanes to be moved back to the original configuration before the construction project.

Following the move of travel lanes back to the original configuration, any repairs to the original bicycle lane will occur and the temporary bicycle lane that was put in as part of this project will be removed.

Seal Beach Pump Station (Intersection of Westminster Blvd and Seal Beach Blvd)

Construction is currently taking place by the Seal Beach Pump Station site.

Between Bolsa Chica and Rancho Road (City of Westminster)

This project replaces two existing side-by-side regional sewer pipelines.  In the City of Westminster, one pipeline will be replaced at a time while the other pipeline is in service 24/7 to collect and transport wastewater for treatment and recycling. The contractor is currently working on completing construction of the first sewer pipe.  Once completed and the new pipeline is put in service, the contractor will be able to start construction on the second pipe, moving in the direction from Bolsa Chica headed towards Rancho Road. The contractor has started preliminary work of the second pipe such as potholing to verify locations of existing utilities.
