In mid-January, staff from the Traffic, Water/Streets, Engineering, and Maintenance divisions of Public Works walked Cement Hill Road and mapped out specific repairs to be made before the road is used as a detour route for the pending construction of the Peabody Road overcrossing as part of the Fairfield/Vacaville Train Station Project. This work will include shoulder repairs, localized replacement of deteriorated asphalt, repainting lane lines, restoring traffic signs, and clearing drain pipes of debris and vegetation.

Project Background
The Fairfield/Vacaville Train Station project is scheduled to be developed on City-owned property located at the southeast corner of Peabody Road and Vanden/Cement Hill Road. The train station will serve as a convenient stop for Fairfield and Vacaville residents using the Capitol Corridor. The Fairfield/Vacaville Train Station is a key component to the Fairfield Train Station Specific Plan, which promotes a pedestrian-oriented, multi-modal, and mixed-use community.
The Peabody Road overpass will be located between Vanden Road and Huntington Drive, and will allow for safe crossing over the Union Pacific Raoiroad tracks for automobiles, bicycles, and pedestrians. This will enhance public safety and relieve traffic congestion.
