Stanislaus/Tuolumne County – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is performing a highway improvement project that will repave 34 miles of State Route 108/(SR-108) and SR-120 in Stanislaus and Tuolumne counties. The project began at Lancaster Road in eastern Stanislaus County and will continue to the SR-49/SR-108 junction in Tuolumne County, as well as to Moccasin Creek Bridge on SR-120 in southern Tuolumne County. This project will extend the service life of the existing pavement and improve efficiency and safety for motorists on these highways.

This $20.3 million project is being performed by George Reed Inc. of Modesto. Work began Monday, April 2, 2018, with the project expected to finish in October 2018.

Night work will typically be from 7:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m., with day work usually from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Friday’s work will typically end at 3:00 p.m.

Motorists can expect lane closures and one-way traffic control, with flaggers handling the traffic flow, and 10-minute delays during the project. Please leave extra time to reach your destination, and be aware of vehicles and workers adjacent to the roadway.

While this project is not funded by SB 1, many pavement-based “fix-it-first” projects are and will continue to be across the next decade. Due to SB 1, Caltrans will allocate $15 billion for “fix-it-first” repairs, similar to the smoothing of pavement on SR-108/120, throughout the next 10 years.
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.
