Auburn Boulevard Update: Progress Continues, Support Local Business!

Work is steadily progressing on Auburn Boulevard as part of the Complete Streets Phase 2 project. Right now, utility companies like SMUD, CCI, and Comcast are busy converting overhead lines to underground service. The joint trench has already been installed, and about half of the buildings have completed their conversions to underground utilities. While that work continues, the City’s contractor is also upgrading the storm drain system along the east side of the road in preparation for new sidewalk, curb, and gutter installation ahead of winter.

Looking ahead, utility poles and overhead lines are expected to be removed in late August or early September. Traffic signal upgrades will also begin soon, now that the new poles have arrived. Much of the west side’s curb, gutter, and sidewalk is already complete, and the project remains on track for completion in summer 2026.

During construction, the outside lanes in both directions remain closed 24/7, but businesses along Auburn Boulevard are still open, and they need your support! Whether it’s your favorite restaurant, auto shop, or salon, shopping local helps keep our business community strong during this time of transformation.

Let’s keep loving local on Auburn Boulevard while we build a safer, more vibrant corridor!
