Colton paving project brings closures through Aug. 20
Colton’s FY 2025-26 Asphalt Paving Project is underway and scheduled to continue through Aug. 20, bringing temporary street closures, parking restrictions, traffic impacts and access limits to designated work areas.
The City of Colton contracted with Matich Corporation for the project. Work began June 22 and is scheduled Monday through Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The paving schedule means residents in affected areas may need to plan around construction activity during daytime work hours. The city’s notice does not identify every street included in the project, so the impacts are limited to designated project areas rather than all Colton streets.
What residents should expect
Temporary street closures and traffic impacts may occur as work moves through the project areas. The city also says parking restrictions will be used during scheduled work.
No-parking signs will be posted in advance. Those signs will identify the specific work dates, giving residents notice before parking is restricted in an area.
Residents directly affected by the work will receive information about access restrictions and the expected duration of those limits. That notification is intended for properties where construction could affect access, but the available notice does not provide a street-by-street schedule or list the expected duration for each location.
For people traveling through an active work area, the practical effect may include a temporary closure, a traffic change or a need to use a different access route. The city has not provided a complete list of affected streets in the available notice, so residents should rely on posted signs and direct city notifications for location-specific details.
Project timeline
The project opened June 22, 2026, and its scheduled work window runs through Aug. 20, 2026. The regular construction schedule is four days a week: Monday through Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
As of Aug. 7, the work remains within that scheduled window. Aug. 20 is the city’s stated end date for the project schedule; the notice does not report a completion percentage or say that work has been completed on any particular street.
The project is identified as the city’s FY 2025-26 Asphalt Paving Project. The available city information does not state the total project cost, and it does not describe the condition of individual roads or provide a breakdown of the paving locations.
What happens next
Construction is scheduled to continue in designated areas through Aug. 20. In the meantime, temporary closures, no-parking signs and access notifications will provide the most specific information for residents near active work.
The city’s notice does not announce a final completion date beyond the scheduled Aug. 20 project window. It also does not say that every planned paving location will be finished before that date. Until the city issues a completion announcement, the project should be treated as active and subject to the stated access and traffic restrictions.
