Calaveras County, CA…The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has closed eastbound and westbound State Route 26 (SR-26) for approximately 2.5 miles east of Glencoe from Deardorff Road to Woodhouse Mine Road for repair work after the Valentine’s Day deluge that swamped Calaveras County on February 14, 2019.

The closure is expected to be long-term in order to repair damage from multiple washouts that damaged the roadway. The full-closure is expected to continue until early March and then one-way traffic control will be in effect until repairs are completed. The estimated date of the completion of the work has not been determined.

The roadway on this stretch of SR-26 was severely eroded due to the massive amount of water from the storm event and must be fully repaired before re-opening. This effort is to ensure the safety and efficiency of the roadway for motorists.

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.
