Coulterville, CA…Caltrans has completed repairs and opened northbound and southbound State Route 49 (SR-49) from Bear Valley Road to SR-132 in Coulterville. The closure began on Monday, April 29, 2019. The shoulders of SR-49 at multiple locations (including the entire roadside embankment) were shifting away from the highway. Crews rebuilt roadside slopes and shoulders, and placed erosion control measures like “geo grid” – a plastic mesh material beneath the surface of the slopes.

This work was in addition to repairing or replacing three culverts (underground drainage systems)
and rebuilding the road afterward.
