Murphys, CA… On State Route 4 between Pennsylvania Gulch Road and Main Street. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is preparing to build a two-way, center, left-turn lane to improve existing traffic conditions on State Route 4 between Pennsylvania Gulch Road and Main Street\/Lawrence Street in the scenic town of Murphys in the Sierra Nevada foothills.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Work is scheduled to begin June 21, 2021 and end in fall 2021. Some of the work will be conducted at night when one-way traffic control will be employed. Motorists should
\nexpect 10-minute delays. Traffic impact is expected to be minimal during day time hours.<\/p>\n

Currently, motorists can be delayed on Route 4 during peak morning and afternoon hours and some drivers have been observed using the shoulder to pass vehicles waiting to safely make a left-hand turn onto Pennsylvania Gulch Road toward Michelson Elementary School and Main Street\/Lawrence Street to downtown Murphys.<\/p>\n

Motorists intending to make a left turn will be channeled into a center lane, which will improve traffic flow and eliminate motorists from using the shoulder to pass vehicles in queue.<\/p>\n

The $3.5 million project \u2013 awarded to Dirt Dynasty Inc. of Valley Springs, CA \u2013 will include widening and restriping the roadway, and installing new drainage systems, gutters, curbs and a high-visibility crosswalk with flashing beacons.<\/p>\n

This work is scheduled to begin as listed, but is subject to change due to traffic
\nincidents, weather, availability of equipment, and\/or materials and construction related issues.<\/p>\n
