Bellflower Schedules October Slurry Seal Work at Multiple Parks, Parking Lots and Streets

BELLFLOWER, Los Angeles County — October 23, 2026. California58 Local reviewed municipal project, zoning and public-service information relevant to residents. This report clearly distinguishes notices, construction plans and legal code from unconfirmed completion dates.

What does the work involve?

Bellflower’s September 29 public notice describes the continuation of its annual slurry seal program, with work scheduled for the week of October 5 at several public parking areas: Thompson Park, Simms Park, Caruthers Park, Riverview Park, Library Gardens and city-owned parking lots in downtown corridors.

Why were closures expected?

Slurry sealing requires the pavement surface to be clear while crews apply and cure a protective treatment. That can mean temporarily restricted parking and residential street access for a half-day or full day. The city’s release noted exact dates were still being finalized and advised following posted construction signs.

Are those lots still closed on October 23?

Not confirmed. The announcement concerns work planned earlier in October, so it would be incorrect to repeat it as a live closure map today. Some areas may have reopened, changed their schedule or been delayed by weather. Residents should check the latest city construction update before driving to an event.

Where to obtain current notices

The city directed residents to its website and to 562-804-1424 extension 2259 for updates. The separate street-sweeping timetable is not a substitute for slurry seal notices, because sweeping and pavement maintenance use different schedules and temporary restrictions.
