LUCERNE VALLEY — November 2, 2026. San Bernardino County Public Works reported completion of its 2026 chip-seal and scrub-seal program, including 42.23 miles of North Side Road and other roads in Lucerne Valley.

How the Lucerne Valley work fits a countywide program

The county’s September 21 report says its annual road preservation program addressed approximately 96.49 miles across multiple communities including Lucerne Valley, Barstow, Essex and Angelus Oaks. The Lucerne Valley area accounts for 42.23 miles under the North Side Road and Others grouping.

Why a preservation treatment is used

Chip seal and scrub seal help protect existing pavement against moisture and surface wear. They are preventive treatments, not equivalent to complete reconstruction or a new highway; specific road segments may still require separate work.

What the completion announcement establishes

The county announcement confirms completion of the named program, but is not a live traffic map or proof that every local street was resurfaced. Drivers should check current San Bernardino County or Caltrans notices for new road work and closures.
