FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Placer County – Caltrans is alerting motorists of traffic-interfering work on a five-mile section of Interstate 80 (I-80) in western Placer County starting Sunday night.
Lamon Construction Co. of Yuba City will be grinding down rough sections of pavement on I-80 between Douglas Boulevard in Roseville and Sierra College Boulevard in Rocklin. Heavy rains over the winter deteriorated the pavement in this area, and a $5.1 million emergency contract was executed for repair work.
The contractor will perform grinding work from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday next week on sections of both eastbound and westbound I-80 in the outside #3 and #4 lanes. Motorists can expect alternating lane and ramp closures.
Construction crews will return to perform paving work in early May (weather permitting). The open-grade asphalt requires temperatures of 65 degrees and rising to be applied properly and the work will be done at night due to daytime traffic volumes.
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties.

Motorists also can call the California Highway Information Network automated phone service at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623).
