The lane-painting work is part of the AC Overlay 2202 Phase 2 (SS) project, which involves resurfacing various streets across several San Diego communities. The project includes replacing damaged roadway surfaces with fresh asphalt and re-striping lanes, according to the city.
The city will also upgrade curb ramps to improve access for disabled people, and replace impacted cross gutters, curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
Other project features include more than five miles of resurfacing, costing $5.5 million. The College Avenue portion involves over two miles and is responsible for $1.8 million of the total project cost, according to the city.
