Update: Paving will go into July on 2 miles of Briggsmore in Modesto. Here’s the schedule
Drivers can expect two weeks of detours to allow repaving of two miles of Briggsmore Avenue in Modesto.
An updated schedule shows closures on parts of the well-traveled route starting Sunday night and running to July 7. The work is between McHenry Avenue and Oakdale Road.

The city hired Hughson-based United Pavement Maintenance Inc. for the job. The contract also includes new sidewalks on part of Empire Avenue in the airport neighborhood, which also is done.
Modesto is funding all of the work with the Measure L sales tax, approved by Stanislaus County voters in 2016.
