Caltrans Begins Improvements To Roadway On State Route 88
Amador County – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is set to begin roadway preservation work along State Route 88 (SR-88) in Amador County near the communities of Ione and Martell.
Crews will conduct nighttime (between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., Sunday-Thursday), one-way traffic control for approximately six months, beginning April 1, and continuing through September 30, 2025.
This work is required to repair failed pavement and to resurface existing pavement. Crews will update highway drainage, electrical systems, transportation management system, and make highway safety improvements.
This $7.9 million project is funded by Senate Bill 1 (SB 1). Since the passage of SB 1 in 2017, Caltrans has rehabilitated 16,759 lane miles of pavement.
Motorists should expect up to 10-minute delays during this closure and should consider alternate routes when possible.
This project will be performed by Bay Cities Paving & Grading, Inc. (Concord, CA).
Motorists should expect 5-to-10-minute delays and use alternate routes whenever possible. This work is scheduled to occur as listed but is subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment/materials, and construction-related issues.
