Project Will Improve Roadway Surface, Avoid Costly Repairs And Reduce Delays
Stockton – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is preparing to begin a maintenance project that will improve the roadway surface of State Route 26 (SR-26) between Sandstone Creek near Linden and Savage Way in Oak Grove (Calaveras County.)
Work will include the repair of failed roadway surface locations using hot-mix asphalt, install new shoulder backing and new asphalt concrete dikes, and rumble strips.
One-way traffic control on eastbound and westbound SR-26 will be required for the safety of motorists, roadway workers and equipment.
Beginning August 7, 2023, crews will work mostly night shifts, for approximately two months - Sunday nights through Fridays mornings - with completion expected in October 2023. Flaggers and roadside message signs will be placed on SR-26 to alert motorists of the construction zones.
This $3.5 million project was awarded to George Reed (Modesto, CA), who will perform the work required.
This project will benefit commuters and motorists traveling to and from the cities of Stockton, Linden and Valley Springs, as well as truckers hauling commercial and agricultural goods throughout Calaveras, County, San Joaquin County and beyond.
By improving the roadway surface, this project will also improve mobility and greatly reduce current and future maintenance repair costs for this highly traveled corridor.
Caltrans will provide continuous updates on scheduled lane and ramp closures, and any other lane closure details in future traffic advisories and social media posts.

The work schedule is subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment and/or materials, and/or construction-related issues.
