Delano’s $1.1 Million Pavement Program Targets Cecil, Garces, Girard and High Streets

DELANO, Kern County — October 23, 2026. An official City of Delano record provides the key facts below. This report separates current bidding deadlines, proposed government actions and published service guidance from confirmed final outcomes.

Which street segments are included?

Delano’s 2026 resurfacing and rehabilitation bid STPL-5227(077) covers Cecil Avenue between Wasco Pond Road and Albany Street; Garces Highway between Casey Avenue and Lytle Avenue; Girard Street between County Line Road and 18th Avenue; and High Street between County Line Road and 21st Avenue. Residents should not assume unrelated streets in the same neighborhoods are included.

What is the planned treatment?

The city specifies pavement maintenance methods including cape seal, chip seal, slurry seal, deep patching, striping, pavement markers and other repairs. The appropriate treatment depends on the actual street section. Maintenance treatments are not the same thing as rebuilding a road from the subgrade upward.

How much will it cost?

The official estimate ranges from $1.1 million to $1.15 million. That number is not necessarily the amount of a final construction award or the cost of any single street. Delano advertised the project July 28 and closed bids August 27. Residents should check later contract documents for the winning bid, any schedule changes and work orders.

What should drivers watch for?

Paving can involve lane closures, temporary parking restrictions and access changes, but the procurement does not prove those impacts are underway on a specific date in October. Follow city Public Works construction notices and physical traffic-control signs. For mobility or business-access concerns, identify the exact block and contact Engineering.
