Annual Street Maintenance Project 23-BB: Hamilton Avenue Street  Resurfacing 

(Updated October 30, 2026)

Description

The Annual Street Maintenance Project will resurface Hamilton Avenue in Campbell.  The project is part of the City's Pavement Maintenance Program (PMP) designed to maintain city streets. The goal of the project is to improve pavement conditions, roadway safety and long-term pavement durability.

Location

Hamilton Avenue will be resurfaced from the western city limits located approximately 640' west of Phoenix Drive to the eastern city limit at the intersection with Hurst Avenue. Because Hamilton Ave is so long (approximately 2.8 miles in length), construction work is being divided into the following Sections:

Section 1A: Western city limit at 600' west of Phoenix 
Drive to Marathon Drive.

Section 1B: Marathon Drive to San Tomas Expressway

Section 2: San Tomas Expressway to Winchester Boulevard

Section 3: Winchester Boulevard to Salmar Avenue 

Section 4: Salmar Avenue to Bascom Avenue

Section 5: Bascom Avenue to Hurst Avenue

The City of Campbell is responsible for maintaining approximately 94 miles of roadway. To help track the pavement condition of these streets, the City utilizes the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) StreetSaver Pavement Management Program.

Pavement management principles advocate that it is better from a “life-cycle” cost analysis to spend money on preventative maintenance measures when a street is in good or fair condition as opposed to corrective maintenance - waiting until the street deteriorates to poor condition where a more substantial form of rehabilitation, such as an overlay or reconstruction would be warranted. 

The City of Campbell uses the following funding sources to help pay for the maintenance of its streets:  Vehicle Registration Fees, Vehicle Impact Fees, Gas Tax, Measure B, and money from Campbell’s Capital Reserves. In addition, the City also receives funding from Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Moreover, the project was awarded a federal grant from the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (CPFCDS) Program. 

This project has been approved by the VTA Board for the programming of the Santa Clara Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) Grant for Fiscal Year 24/25.
