Rheem Boulevard south of Moraga Road will be closed until December, a month-and-a-half longer than the Town of Moraga originally anticipated.

The closure is due to construction of SummerHill Homes housing, who entered a partnership with the town to reconstruct the roadway.

Interim town manager, Bob Priebe said that his staff became aware of the delayed completion date when the public did. "The town will work to ensure that we receive more timely information on this project," he said, adding that the town's major interest is that this project be completed as designed to ensure a safe and lasting benefit to the community.

John Hickey, speaking for the builder, said that the delay was because the town requested to confirm some design components, and that the start of work was postponed by a month.

"Because of that and the Thanksgiving holiday, the completion date shifted from the end of October to the beginning of December," he said. "The roadway will be stabilized before the rainy season begins. ... Rainy weather after that could affect the preparation of the subgrade and the paving, but the work that we're doing to stabilize the roadway will already be in place."

The rainy season usually starts mid-October.
