Placer County - Caltrans is reminding motorists of various lane and ramp closures in multiple locations along State Route 49 (SR 49) as several projects continue in Placer County.

Here is the breakdown for next week:

Sidewalk Gap Closure Project
  • Southbound between Dry Creek Road and Bell Road, various lane closures are scheduled from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday, September 21 through Thursday, September 25. Work is scheduled to end for the week by 7 a.m. Friday, September 26.
Safety Barrier Project
  • Northbound between Lorenson Road/Florence Lane and Lone Star Road, various lane closures are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, September 22 through Friday, September 26.
  • Southbound between Lone Star Road and Lorenson Road/Florence Lane, various lane closures are scheduled from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, September 22 through Friday, September 26.

The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers' safety. Motorists may experience delays between 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic volumes. The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather, availability of materials or other unexpected events.

Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to "Be Work Zone Alert" and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.
