Sonora, CA – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will soon begin a traffic safety project on State Route 49 to replace roadway striping and markings with materials that improve visibility at night and when the pavement is wet.
Thermoplastic striping and retroreflective pavement markers will be installed on 2.5 miles of SR-49 through Sonora from Steffen Lane to the SR-108/SR-49 connector.
The project is scheduled to begin June 23, 2024, with completion expected in August 2024. Work will be performed Sundays through Thursdays from 9:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m.
During construction, motorists can expect one-way traffic controls with 10-minute delays. Crews will work in two to three block segments, beginning on the project’s south end. The northbound connector ramp to SR-49 from eastbound SR-108 will also be closed on June 23 and 24.
Schedules are subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, equipment and/or materials availability, and construction-related issues.
Sterndahl Enterprises, Inc. of Sun Valley, CA will perform this $333,770 project.
The speed limit within the work zone will be 25 mph. For the safety of workers and other motorists, please Be Work Zone Alert.
