Lonoak Road Rehabilitation Listed for $450,000 in Monterey County Measure AA Project Program

LONOAK, Monterey County — October 29, 2026. Residents using Lonoak Road have a specific roadway project identified in Monterey County’s 2026 Measure AA planning documents. The February 3, 2026 board material lists “Lonoak Road Blade Lay” as a proposed local road improvement with a $450,000 budget amount.

What does the listing establish?

The road appears in the county’s tiered list of potential and authorized improvements for fiscal year 2025–26. It is a distinct site from nearby highway projects and from the separate San Benancio and Vierra Canyon resurfacing programs. The county’s early-2026 board materials describe an initial group of Measure AA-funded projects and a second tier dependent on available revenue.

What is blade-lay rehabilitation?

In road-maintenance terminology, a blade-lay treatment is a pavement rehabilitation method used on existing road surfaces. The specific design, materials, thickness and mileposts for Lonoak Road must be verified against the eventual Public Works construction specifications. A project name by itself does not establish that the road is being widened, realigned or fully reconstructed.

Is the $450,000 a final contractor price?

No. The figure appears in a planning and funding recommendation. It should not be treated as an executed construction bid, actual expenditure or final cost without separately checking the contractor award and invoices. Nor does the document establish that the road was resurfaced by October 29.

Why residents should follow up

Lonoak and surrounding rural roads depend on county maintenance decisions. The public can ask Monterey County Public Works for the exact limits, start and end dates, drainage and shoulder treatment, traffic management and any changes to approved funding. Current road restrictions should be checked independently of the historical funding list.
