State Route 49 Construction Update for Gold Country Corridor 

 Various Lane Closures Scheduled Between I-80 and Placer/Nevada County Line

PLACER COUNTY – Caltrans is reminding motorists of various lane closures in multiple locations along State Route 49 (SR 49) as several projects continue in Placer County. 

Here is the breakdown for next week:

Safety Barrier Project

• Southbound at Lone Star Road and Lorenson Road/Florence Lane will be reduced to a single lane until further notice.

Sidewalk Gap Closer Project

• Southbound between Dry Creek Road and Luther Road, various lane closures are scheduled from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday, June 22 through Thursday, June 26. Work is scheduled to end for the week by 7 a.m. Friday, June 27.

The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers’ safety. Motorists may experience delays between 10 to 15 minutes, depending on traffic volumes. The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather, availability of materials or other unexpected events.

Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to “Be Work Zone Alert” and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.
