Be a Good Neighbor – But Keep Your Distance
veg mgt

As you safely reach out to your neighbors to see how they are doing during the COVID-19 pandemic, have you asked them if they may need a little extra help with creating #DefensibleSpace around their home or property? Perhaps they are experiencing physical, medical or financial limitations right now. It's going to take neighbors and neighborhoods working together…but apart…to be ready for wildfire.

POSTPONED
Greenstone Road Closure

Greenstone Rd Closure

 GREENSTONE RD AT SLATE CREEK BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT ROAD CLOSURE
Davidson Rd. to Quail Valley Rd.

(PLACERVILLE, CA) – El Dorado County Department of Transportation announces that the full closure of Greenstone Road has been postponed. The full closure of Greenstone Road between Davidson Road and Quail Valley Road is necessary in order to safely remove and reconstruct the bridge at Slate Creek as well as to realign the roadway approaches. The planned closure was scheduled to occur between April 20, 2020 and September 16, 2020. There is an active bird nest under the existing bridge that is protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C.703 et seq.), so the County’s Contractor must wait to remove the bridge until the nest is no longer active. Greenstone Road will remain open until such time work can resume at the bridge site. Changeable message signs placed on Greenstone Road will be used to update motorists of the road closure. The County sincerely appreciates the cooperation and patience of motorists that use this roadway and we apologize for any inconvenience as a result of this project. For questions regarding this construction, please contact the County at (530) 642-4977.
