FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Marysville — Caltrans is alerting motorists about a short-term lane reduction to the left turn pocket of northbound State Highway 70 (E Street) to westbound 5th Street in downtown Marysville.Map with graphic of left turn lane that has been temporarily reduced to one lane during construction on State Highway 70 in Marysville

Only one of the two left turn lanes is open to motorists during the City of Marysville’s major roadway rehabilitation project on 5th Street. The inside turn lane will be closed through late July.

The turn pocket lane reduction will accommodate traffic lane restrictions during the City’s $3.5 million 5th Street roadway improvement project between Highway 70 and J Street. The city anticipates completing the roadwork by early fall.

The schedule is subject to change due to weather or unexpected events. Caltrans reminds motorists to Be Work Zone Alert.

Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 highway lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties.
