Calaveras County – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will perform one-way traffic control on eastbound and westbound State Route 26 (SR-26) from Gee Lane to County View Drive for traffic signal work.

Lengthening of existing left-turn lanes; Widening of the roadway and intersection to accommodate commercial vehicles;

Improving the efficiency of travel and traffic safety at this intersection to reduce the likelihood of broad-side collisions.

The project is scheduled to be completed in August 2017. This $1.4 million project has been awarded to George Reed, Inc.

Work is scheduled to begin as listed, but is subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment and/or materials and construction related issues.
