A $6.25 million project to repair about 7 miles of San Bernardino streets is set to get underway, the city announced Tuesday.
Fourteen streets will receive upgrades that include clearing, full concrete and asphalt construction, crack sealing, overlays, traffic striping, utility adjustments and traffic controls, officials said.
“This investment will improve our roads in each of the city’s seven wards,” Mayor Helen Tran said in a statement. “It is the latest of a series of street improvement projects we have in the pipeline.”
Work will start this summer with an expected finish in spring 2026, officials said.
The project includes these locations:
- North Mayfield Avenue from West 8th Street to 10th Street;
- North Western Avenue from 8th Street to Union Street;
- East Gilbert Street from North Waterman Avenue to Canyon Road up to the bridge;
- West 14th Street from North G Street to North E Street;
- East Hardt Street from South Tippecanoe Avenue to Richardson Street;
- East Holden Drive from the west to east ends;
- North Orange Street from the 210 Freeway to Highland Avenue;
- North Electric Avenue from West 40th Street to 48th Street;
- North Varsity Avenue from West College Avenue to Universal Avenue;
- West College Avenue from University Parkway to North Citadel Avenue;
- West Roosevelt Avenue, from Macy Street to University Parkway;
- North Macy Street near Roosevelt Avenue;
- Washington Avenue, including Lincoln Avenue from the west end to University Parkway;
- West 34th Street from North Mountain View Avenue to North Sierra Way; and
- North Mountain View Avenue from West 30th Street to Edgerton Drive.
Officials decided the streets to repair based on pavement condition, available funding, requests from community members and coordination with planned infrastructure projects.
Funding is from the city’s annual Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program and gasoline tax revenue.
San Bernardino-based Matich Corp. will do the road upgrades, according to a $4.75 million contract approved by the City Council on June 4.
The council also approved plans to improve six major entry points into the city using state funds during the 2025-26 fiscal year.
“Last year the focus was investing in our parks,” Tran said. “This year we are heavily investing in improving our streets.”
