Delays Expected Along State Route 49 for Safety Barrier Project
Caltrans is alerting motorists about various lane closures and delays along State Route 49 (SR-49) between Auburn and Grass Valley as work continues on a $38 million safety barrier project.
DeSilva Gates Construction of Dublin is the prime contractor. The project is expected to be completed by fall 2025. At that time, the 1.3 miles stretch along SR-49 will include a concrete median barrier and roundabouts at the Lorenson Road/Florence Lane and Lone Star Road intersections. Additional work will include new pavement, striping, curb gutters, sidewalks and signage.
Please be advised of lane closures at the following times and locations:
• Lane closures are scheduled along southbound SR-49 between Lorenson Road/Florence Lane and Lone Star Road from7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday until the end of October.
• Additional lane closures are scheduled for both northbound and southbound SR-49 for drainage work from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday until the end of October.
Motorists can expect delays during peak travel times between 15 and 20 minutes.
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.
All work on road construction projects will be suspended on weekends and holidays. Schedules are subject to change due to weather, equipment or material availability or other unexpected events. Our office will continue to share roadwork updates as we receive them. Please reach out if you have any questions.
