PLACER COUNTY - Caltrans is reminding motorists of various lane closures in multiple locations along State Route 49 as several projects continue work in Placer County.
Here is the breakdown for next week:
Safety Barrier Project
- Northbound and southbound between Lorenson Road/Florence Lane and Lone Star Road, various lane closures scheduled during the day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, April 28 through Friday, May 2.
- Northbound and southbound between Lorenson Road/Florence Lane and Lone Star Road, various lane closures scheduled during the evening from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday, April 28 through Thursday, May 1.
Sidewalk Gap Closer Project
- Northbound between Elm Avenue and New Airport Road/Kemper Road, various lane closures scheduled from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday, April 28 through Thursday, May 1. Work is scheduled to end for the week by 7 a.m. Friday, May 2.
The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers' safety. Motorists may experience delays between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on traffic volumes. The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather, availability of materials or other unexpected events.
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to "Be Work Zone Alert" and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.
