The city says this is for slurry seal work to be done, which is applied in order to protect the underlying pavement.
Monterey police said a Fresno man was arrested after he tried to evade a DUI after driving off the Municipal Wharf 2 on Sunday morning.
Another officer saw the vehicle on the left turn pocket from Del Monte to Municipal Wharf 2. The officer turned on their lights to initiate a traffic stop near Municipal Wharf 2.The vehicle pulled over and when the officer approached on foot the vehicle drove off. The truck went north toward the end of the wharf at a high speed, said police.
The officer assumed the occupants were hiding at the end of the wharf since there was nowhere to go. Other officers arrived to assist, and when they got to the end of the wharf they heard a cry for help coming from the ocean.
Officers located four people in the water and threw flotation devices at them. Police then realized the suspects had driven off the wharf.
All four were safely rescued. The passengers were treated for minor injuries and were released.
The driver, Martin Urroz, 21, was taken to the Natividad Medical Center for injuries he sustained.

MacMurdo’s departure comes at an unfortunate time, considering the city’s biggest event of the year, the Good Old Days Street fair on May 4-5, is only two weeks away.
However, the chamber said that Metzner who has been the lead director for Good Old Days is well suited to fill in until a permanent president is selected.
