Boulder Creek and Brookdale Roads on Santa Cruz County’s 2026 Resurfacing List: Six Streets Named

BOULDER CREEK / BROOKDALE, Santa Cruz County — October 27, 2026. Residents following deteriorating neighborhood streets can consult a new county-specific resource rather than relying solely on the separate Highway 9 bridge project. The 2026 Santa Cruz County Pavement Management Project includes road resurfacing in the Boulder Creek and Brookdale area, with six named streets on the county’s published list.

Which roads appear in the plan?

The county’s dedicated construction page lists Irwin Way, Alameda Avenue, Berkeley Way, Larkspur Street, Riverside Road and Fern Street under Boulder Creek and Brookdale. It also identifies resurfacing work in Soquel, Aptos and Watsonville. Readers should check the detailed project-road list to learn the exact segment limits and intended pavement treatment; the presence of a street name does not mean its full length is being rebuilt.

Does the list mean work is complete?

No. The county project page describes construction scheduling as pending completion and refers residents to the individual project-road listing and construction notices. Until a specific date and work limits are posted, California58 is not reporting active closure dates for these six streets or claiming pavement has been installed.

Road resurfacing differs from the Highway 9 San Lorenzo River and Kings Creek bridge replacement works, which involve bridge reconstruction and temporary traffic signals. Residents should avoid conflating the two projects when planning school pickup, deliveries or commuting.

How to check road impacts

Santa Cruz County offers an email list for road-impact notifications. Residents can subscribe and check individual project updates before driving. Questions can be addressed to Public Works at 831-454-2160 or dpwweb@santacruzcounty.us.

Editor’s note: The six streets are listed in an official 2026 project plan. Work schedules and individual construction status require up-to-date confirmation.
