FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YOLO COUNTY— Caltrans is alerting motorists about an ongoing full closure of State Highway 128 for emergency work.
Wet weather and saturated soil caused an early-morning slip underneath the roadway on Saturday, April 1, resulting in the closure of the eastbound and westbound directions at different locations.
An emergency contractor will bring in heavy equipment for slide removal and slop-stabilizing work at postmiles 1.75 and 2.24. The closure is estimated to last about three weeks from today. One-way traffic control will begin once it is determined to be safe.
The permanent repair will require a soldier pile wall, and the work will be impacted by the weather. Motorists will not have access into the closure area unless they have proof of local residency and then will be escorted to their homes.
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans issues updates about road conditions on Twitter @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at CaltransDistrict3.
