Castroville Street Closures Scheduled for Pavement Preservation Project: What Residents Need to Know This June
Residents in several Castroville neighborhoods will see temporary street closures over the coming days as the City of Castroville moves forward with a roadway preservation project aimed at protecting one of the community’s most valuable assets—its streets.
Beginning June 8, crews will apply a specialized pavement preservation treatment known as HA5 High Density Mineral Bond to designated neighborhood roads. While the work will require temporary daytime closures, city officials say the project is an investment in the long-term condition of local infrastructure, helping extend the lifespan of existing streets while reducing future repair and replacement costs.
For homeowners, the project represents more than routine maintenance. Well-maintained roads contribute to safer travel, improved neighborhood appearance, and can help support property values by preserving community infrastructure.
Why Castroville Is Performing the Road Work
Rather than waiting until roads deteriorate and require costly reconstruction, pavement preservation treatments are designed to protect asphalt surfaces before major damage occurs.
According to the city, the HA5 treatment will be installed through a two-stage process over two days. The preservation method helps seal and protect existing pavement from weather-related wear, oxidation, and everyday traffic, extending the usable life of neighborhood streets.
This preventative approach allows communities to maximize taxpayer investments while minimizing the need for more disruptive and expensive road replacement projects in the future.
Street Closure Schedule and What Residents Should Expect
Work is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. each day on the streets designated for treatment and will continue until approximately 7 p.m.
Roadways undergoing treatment will remain closed during construction hours but will reopen each evening to allow residents access to their homes.
The city is urging residents to carefully review the project map and the specific notice provided for their subdivision to determine when work will occur in their neighborhood.
According to the posted schedule:
Red Routes
- Day 1: Monday, June 8
- Day 2: Tuesday, June 9
Blue Routes
- Day 1: Wednesday, June 10
- Day 2: Thursday, June 11
Yellow Routes
- Day 1: Friday, June 12
- Day 2: Saturday, June 13
The affected streets are located in several residential areas across Castroville, including portions of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions.

Residents should plan ahead before work begins in their area.
Vehicles parked on streets scheduled for treatment may be towed if they interfere with construction operations. The city advises residents not to park within 50 feet of any roadway being worked on during project hours.
Officials note that towing expenses will be the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
Homeowners are encouraged to make alternative parking arrangements before crews arrive to avoid delays and additional costs.
What Residents Should Do Next
The City of Castroville recommends that residents review the subdivision-specific notices associated with the project. Those notices contain additional details regarding:
- Shuttle services, where applicable
- Contact information for project representatives
- Neighborhood-specific instructions
- Access considerations during construction
While temporary closures may create short-term inconveniences, city leaders say the preservation work is intended to deliver long-term benefits for residents and help maintain the quality of Castroville’s neighborhood streets for years to come.
As Castroville continues to grow, infrastructure maintenance projects like this one play an important role in protecting public investments and ensuring local roads remain safe, reliable, and cost-effective.
