Roadway improvements are underway in the Imperial Townsite area as part of the Imperial Townsite Roadway Improvement Project Phase I, a County infrastructure project designed to improve local road conditions, support safer travel, and extend the life of existing roadways.
On March 3, 2026, under Minute Order No. 62, the Imperial County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution awarding Rove Engineering, Inc. as the successful bidder for the project and approved a capital expense of $2,199,999 for County Project No. 6995RMRA, funded by SB 1.
The project includes pavement grinding, crack sealing, asphalt concrete resurfacing, slurry sealcoat, pothole repairs, shoulder grading, road striping, utility adjustments, and other related roadway improvements. Work is taking place within the County Road right-of-way and includes various road segments in the Imperial Townsite area, including locations near Lee Road, Powell Court, Hamblet Road, and Nance Road.
“Investments like this are important to the daily lives of our residents,” said Chairwoman Peggy Price, District 3 Supervisor. “These improvements help provide safer, smoother, and more reliable roads for the families, workers, emergency responders, and community members who use them every day. I want to thank the Imperial County Public Works Department for their continued dedication and hard work in coordinating projects that directly benefit our communities.”
Imperial County remains committed to maintaining and improving local infrastructure through responsible planning, available funding opportunities, and continued coordination with project partners. The Imperial Townsite Roadway Improvement Project Phase I reflects the County’s ongoing work to support safe and reliable transportation throughout its communities.
