SPRECKELS, Monterey County — October 28, 2026. A program of curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements touched several blocks of Spreckels during Monterey County’s 2026 local road rehabilitation work. The county’s public road notice identifies a work window beginning August 24 and later extended through September 25, 2026. The list is helpful for property owners looking back at the approved work locations, but it does not prove current October construction or final inspection.

Which streets were identified?

The county published specific locations on First, Second, Third and Fourth Streets, together with portions of Llano Avenue and Railroad Avenue. Addresses named in the notice include 52 and 56 First Street, 67 First Street, 75 Second Street, 59 Second Street, 37 Railroad Avenue, 18 and 28 Third Street, 33 Fourth Street and 94 Fourth Street, plus work near the driveways at 28 First Street and 28 Llano Avenue. The list documents work locations, not an automatic certification that every address had work completed.

How was traffic expected to be managed?

During the posted period, Monterey County advised temporary street and parking restrictions in active work areas, with working hours 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Those September dates have passed. Residents should check any later current county notice before treating the original temporary parking restrictions as continuing into October or November.

Why smaller sidewalk projects matter

Spreckels includes residential blocks where sidewalks, driveways and road drainage affect people walking to neighborhood destinations. Upgrades to curbs and gutters may reduce tripping hazards and help manage runoff, depending on final design. Questions about a specific address should be directed to County Public Works rather than inferred from the broader project label.
