PLACER COUNTY - Caltrans is alerting motorists about a scheduled lane and ramp closure along Interstate 80 (I-80) in Placer County next week as part of the $157.5 million Monte Vista Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Dutch Flat/Monte Vista and Drum Forebay for pavement work.

Eastbound I-80 traffic will shift into one lane between Dutch Flat/Monte Vista and Alta starting at 6 a.m. Monday, February 2 through 11 a.m. Friday, February 6 as traffic control will be maintained around the clock. Delays are estimated to be around 15 to 20 minutes or possibly longer depending on traffic volumes.

Additionally, the Dutch Flat/Monte Vista on-ramp to eastbound I-80 is scheduled to be closed from 6 a.m. Wednesday, February 4 through 11 a.m. Friday, February 6. Motorists utilizing the interchange and looking to head eastbound on I-80 toward Truckee will need to detour westbound to the next exit at Gold Run and take the on-ramp to return to eastbound on I-80.

Crews are grinding and paving a 3,000-foot section of temporary asphalt. This section was used to cross-over traffic last season. The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers' safety. Motorists are reminded that the speed limit within the construction zone has been reduced to 55 mph and the California Highway Patrol will be present for traffic enforcement.

DeSilva Gates Construction of Dublin is the prime contractor for the project, which is expected to be completed by summer 2028. The project will preserve the pavement by addressing areas in fair and poor condition and upgrade the median concrete barrier. The project will also rehabilitate existing drainage systems, install traffic management system (TMS) elements and improve freight mobility by adding an eastbound truck-climbing lane.

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.
