Morgan Hill Pavement Work Runs Through October

Morgan Hill’s 2026 pavement-rehabilitation program is underway and scheduled to continue through October, bringing daytime construction activity to neighborhood streets and busier corridors.

The city’s weekly construction update says O’Grady Paving, Inc. began operations July 20, generally working from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The work includes roadway milling, paving, slurry sealing, utility-cover adjustments, and roadway striping and pavement markings.

Where work is scheduled

The city identifies significant work in the Jackson Meadows neighborhood, on Sutter Boulevard north of Butterfield Boulevard, and on Woodview Avenue. The July 27 weekly update also identifies active or scheduled Butterfield Boulevard work between Tennant Avenue and Dunne Avenue.

A separate city page listing the broader 2026 planned pavement program identifies Butterfield Boulevard from Cochrane Road to Watsonville Road. Because the two city updates describe different levels of project scope, drivers should rely on the latest weekly construction notices for the specific section being worked on.

Within Jackson Meadows, the city’s weekly update lists Saddleback Drive and Gitana Court, Huston Court, Pinto Court, Palomino Court, Gallop Drive, Hayloft Way, and Hayloft Court.

What residents and drivers should expect

Residents and businesses near active work areas should expect construction noise, traffic delays, and temporary changes in access or traffic control during daytime operations. The city advises people to travel carefully through work zones, use alternate routes when possible, and allow extra time.

The city says affected residents and businesses will receive notice from the contractor before work begins in their area. Any parking restrictions are to be posted on affected streets at least 72 hours before operations.

The schedule is a construction window, not a guarantee that every listed location will be active at the same time or that all work will be finished by the end of October.

Project cost and contractor

City bid documents describe the project as a public-works effort at various locations within Morgan Hill’s city limits, with an estimated construction cost of $2.8 million. The bid abstract identifies O’Grady Paving as the lowest responsive bidder, with a combined Bid Schedule I and II total of $2,326,480.80.

The $2.8 million figure is the city’s estimate, while the $2,326,480.80 figure is the bid amount shown in the abstract. Neither figure should be treated as a final paid cost without later contract or payment records.

Morgan Hill’s pavement-rehabilitation program is part of the city’s recurring street-maintenance work. For drivers, conditions may change from one day to the next as crews move between streets and project phases.

Drivers should watch for active work zones, posted parking restrictions, changing access, and traffic-control instructions through the scheduled October completion window. The city’s weekly construction updates remain the best source for location-specific timing.
