Calaveras County – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is set to begin slope stabilization work along State Route 26 (SR-26) in the Calaveras County communities of Rich Gulch and Glencoe.
Long-term, signalized traffic control will go into effect for approximately eight months, beginning April 1, and continuing through November 30, 2025.
Crews will also conduct one-way traffic controls in portions of the construction zone from 6:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, for the duration of the project.
This work is required to ensure the roadway slope is protected. Crews will construct retaining walls to improve slope stabilization.
This $7.2 project will be performed by Viking Construction Company, Inc. (Rancho Cordova, 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.
