Current Paving Operations
The final pavement work for Mission north of Palisades and the remaining downtown area started on May 13th.
The work started with asphalt grinding to a depth of 2” below the finish grade elevation. At this point, if exposed pavement is in need of repair, additional asphalt is being removed and replaced. Then asphalt will be added to areas that are more than 2” below the finish grade to raise those areas to that grade. And then, the last 2” of asphalt will be placed. Finally, the manholes, utility vaults and valve covers will be raised to grade and the pavement striping and markings will be placed.
Previously, the City’s contractor completed asphalt pavement repair and interim overlay operations in downtown Hayward on Mission Boulevard, Foothill Boulevard, A Street and D Street, pavement repairs at the intersection of Mission Boulevard and B Street and a deep section of pavement through a portion of the intersection at Mission-Foothill-Jackson. |
- Various temporary lane closures will be in effect along Mission Boulevard, Foothill Boulevard, Jackson Street, A Street, B Street, C Street, D Street and Main Street as the City’s contractor paves and constructs the remaining items of their work. PG&E and AT&T are also working on facility upgrades at various points on the project.
Permanent Street Closure
- E St. from Foothill Blvd. to Main St. has been permanently closed. The closed street segment has become part of a larger open space gateway. Access to Brett Harte Middle School, St. Regis Sr. Care Center, Sun Gallery and neighborhoods is still available from Foothill to Main Street or D Street.
The old segment of Berry east of Mission is now closed to through traffic. This segment will be vacated to adjacent property owners now that the traffic signal at new Berry and Mission is operational.
Willis Ave. between Mission and Francisco is closed as a through street. Reconstruction of the Willis roadway from Francisco to Watkins is complete and it is now operating as a two-way street segment.
Notice to Property Owners and Residents

Business Access – Please note that the contractor is attempting to maintain access to all businesses along the project and that these businesses are open for business as usual. There will be occasions during the work that access may not be available for a short term. If you approach a business during one of these occasions, inform contractor’s staff of your desire to access that business and they will help you do so in a safe manner. |
| Planned Meetings – For further information regarding our improvement efforts, please join us on Thursday, 5/23/13 in Room 2A of City Hall. This will be the last scheduled update meeting for the project. |

Traffic Signal Operations – Many of the vehicle detection loops located in the pavement at project intersections were cut by trenching operations for underground construction. Most of these have been fixed. However, there is still one traffic signal, at Sycamore-Highland, operating with set green/red times for each direction of travel. The new traffic signals installed at each intersection have video camera detection systems that recognize that a vehicle is present at the intersection. These cameras are used by an Adaptive Traffic Management System to adjust the green/red time of each signal cycle and help move traffic through the corridor in a more efficient manner. The fiber optic system connecting these signals to City Hall is mostly complete and 27 of the 28 project intersections are now operational. Your continued patience during construction is appreciated. |

05/17/13 – Planned Construction
Construction progress was slightly affected by weather during this past week. The contractor is maintaining storm water pollution prevention program activities to reduce ponding and minimize runoff during wet weather. They are also working with business owners to maintain access where sidewalks reconstruction is underway.
Mission Boulevard - Work along Mission is continuing with miscellaneous storm drain inlets, streetlight conduit, traffic signal poles, tree wells, irrigation lines and adjustment of utility boxes nearing completion. New streetlight installation and tree planting continues. Work on the fiber optic cable for the traffic signal interconnect system is substantially complete and operational between Industrial and Foothill-Jackson. Work within each of the four segments is as follows:
Industrial to Calhoun – The work, including planting, is substantially complete with only streetlights and punchlist items remaining. Most streetlight poles have been erected and the lights are now being powered up. Final asphalt repairs and overlay were completed on February 6th.
Calhoun to Harder – The work, including planting, is substantially complete with only punchlist items remaining. Final paving was completed on July 14th.
Harder to Palisades – The work, including planting, is substantially complete with only punchlist items remaining. The contractor completed the roadway widening at Carlos Bee and paving work for this segment on September 21st before the start of the Fall term at CSU-EB. The widened intersection provides motorists with three northbound and southbound through-lanes, two eastbound left turn lanes to Carlos Bee and two southbound left turn lanes to Mission.
Palisades to Foothill-Jackson – Sidewalks, driveways, and median islands are substantially complete between Palisades and Foothill-Jackson. The traffic signals at Foothill-Jackson and Fletcher are now interconnected and the signal at Sycamore-Highland should be interconnected during the week of May 17.
To help eliminate the unsightly overhead electric and telephone wires and wood poles, underground conduit and vaults were constructed in the sidewalk area for PG&E, AT&T and Comcast facilities between Industrial and Sycamore-Highland. The last wood poles north of Harder were removed on June 11, 2012. The last wood poles near Industrial were removed on November 28, 2012.

“New” Berry between Mission and Belmont – The contractor completed sidewalks and roadway pavement for the new extension of Berry from Mission to Belmont. The traffic signal at Mission-Berry became operational on December 6th and the new street segment was opened to traffic. The old segment of Berry between Mission and Belmont was closed and is being vacated to the adjacent property owners. The murals painted on nearby walls are part of the City’s Mural Program.
Mission Boulevard/Foothill Boulevard between D & E Streets (5 Flags Park) - Work on the park area between Foothill, Mission and D Street is substantially complete with the exception of parking lot lights. Work on the park area between Foothill and Main Street is mostly complete with remaining landscaping work ongoing along a small segment near the corner of Main and E Streets. An artist completed a mural on the parking lot retaining wall. Work along D Street between Watkins and First Street is substantially complete except for the final asphalt pavement layer work that is on-going. The contractor continues work on the median island that separates southbound Mission traffic going towards Jackson and Mission and the median between the two park segments that separates northbound traffic from Jackson and from Mission.
Downtown (Mini-Loop Area) - Sidewalk reconstruction is substantially complete along Mission and A Street, except for some work still needed on Mission near Starbucks at the A St. intersection. Along Foothill the contractor has erected five new traffic signal bridge structures. The two old bridge spans were removed on April 23rd. Work on a small landscape planting area at the southwest corner of Foothill and C Street continues. A landscaped gateway with parking at Mission-A Street is now under construction. Two parking lots were paved at Mission-A Street and at Main-D Street during the week ending May 10th. Interim pavement work on Foothill, A Street, Mission and D Street was completed on October 28th. Final paving operations are now underway.
Downtown area tree wells were temporarily paved over to enhance pedestrian access to businesses during the holiday season. This pavement has been removed and many of the trees have been planted. New bike racks may also be installed along Foothill this month.
Streetlight and traffic signal related installations and miscellaneous remaining sidewalk work continues with some sidewalk reconstruction around the bridge columns and the traffic facilities that were removed after the loop implementation on March 15.
Foothill Boulevard North of A Street - The work is substantially complete on Foothill from A Street to Apple except for miscellaneous punch list items. Hardscape and landscape work for the park open space areas is on-going along the south east and southwest corners of Foothill and City Center South at the Maple Gateway and DeAnza Parks.
Willis Street – The O’Rielly / Wheel Works / Ranch Restaurant shared parking lot and sidewalk reconstruction is complete. The Ranch driveway and Willis Street intersection at Mission have been closed permanently.
Jackson Street – The new traffic signal at Watkins was connected on June 28th in the new intersection configuration for the project. This new configuration eliminated the left turn from southwestbound Jackson to southbound Watkins. Median island landscaping and asphalt paving operations continue between the BART tracks and Mission.
