FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sacramento County — The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is scheduled to perform partial closures for the Three Mile Slough Bridge on State Route 160 for bridge work. The bridge remains safe for travel.

Crews will close the median and perform one-way traffic control from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 8, Wednesday Sept. 9, Thursday Sept. 10 and Friday Sept. 11.

A contractor is scheduled to replace the sheave bearings and to machine the trunnion in both towers.

Caltrans urges motorists to plan accordingly and to expect delays.

Current truck restrictions are enforced. California legal trucks having a kingpin-to-rear-axle of more than 30 feet are not recommended on SR-160.

Suggests alternate routes:

•   For detours involving Sacramento County origins/destinations, motorists may consider using Interstate 5.

•   For other detours, motorists may consider using State Routes 12, 4, and 160 along with segments of Interstates 80 and 680.

Caltrans advices motorists to “Be Work Zone Alert” – someone’s loved one is at work.

Work is scheduled to begin as listed but subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment and/ or materials, and construction related issues.
