FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEVADA COUNTY --- Caltrans is alerting motorists that various ramp and lane closures are scheduled for the next month along State Routes 20/49 (SR-20/49) in Nevada County as part of the $27 million Gold Nugget Project.
 
Motorists can expect various lane and ramp closures from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday each week through the middle of August. Construction activity will pause Friday morning and resume the following Sunday night.
 
Crews are scheduled to start paving the various ramps and auxiliary lanes first from the SR-20/49 separation at West Empire Street to just east of Stonehill Road/Dow Road. Once complete, crews will then grind and repave both eastbound and westbound travel lanes.
 
The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather conditions, material availability, or other unexpected events.
