Sonoma County – Caltrans will begin paving an 11-mile stretch of Sonoma Highway 101 between Canyon Road in Geyserville and Route 128 in Cloverdale. The paving  will begin Tuesday, April 28, 2020, and is scheduled for completion in three weeks.

Nicknamed Big Pave 2, the project is the second of two Highway 101 paving contracts in Sonoma County. Big Pave 1 was completed in 2018, paving between Windsor and Geyserville.

During the first week, Tuesday, April 28 – Saturday, May 2, Caltrans will pave from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM.  The following two weeks, Caltrans will work day and night, taking advantage of light traffic due to the Covid-19 shelter-in-place orders.

Caltrans will begin paving in the northbound direction, starting at Canyon Road in Geyserville and working northwards until reaching the turnaround point at the Route 128 junction. Work crews will then reverse direction and pave southbound Highway 101 within the same boundaries.

Caltrans will grind off old pavement and apply 6½-inches of new asphalt. Worn concrete will be ground down to a smooth surface or replaced.

Caltrans will also repair drainage culverts, guardrails, and bridges between Limerick Lane in Healdsburg and Route 128 in Cloverdale.  For more information including project updates go to https://bit.ly/2wvSOpN
