City makes plans to resurface part of Murrieta Road

The City of Menifee is accepting bids from contractors for street improvements on a stretch of Murrieta Road that has prompted complaints from motorists.

The work will improve the road from San Quinton Road, just south of Newport Road, to Cam Del Sol Notre to the north. The improvements will include:

Header grind and overlay of existing pavement
Cold-in-place recycled asphalt base
Signing and striping
Raised median
ADA ramp improvements

Murrieta Road has been in need of resurfacing since the Eastern Municipal Water District project to lay underground pipe as part of its desalination plant. Bids will be taken through Oct. 17.
