Over the coming weeks, there will be temporary traffic controls where work is happening in the Altman Rd and Lusted Rd right-of-way. Crews will be installing new Pleasant Home Water District water lines and preparing for future Water Bureau pipeline construction.

-
Carpenter Ln (east of Cottrell Rd) and Cottrell Rd (between Carpenter Ln and Dodge Park Blvd) on Sat. Nov. 16: Crews will add pavement striping to the recently resurfaced parts of Carpenter Ln and Cottrell Rd. Work is scheduled on Saturday to minimize traffic congestion.

Altman Rd (between Oxbow Dr and Lusted Rd, including Pipeline Rd intersection) on Nov. 20-21: There will be rolling single-lane closures on Altman Rd with flagged two-way traffic in the open lane while crews complete potholing to confirm the location of existing underground utilities. Work is expected to take 1-2 days.

Lusted Rd (between Hosner Rd and Altman Rd) starting Nov. 22: There will be single-lane closures on Lusted Rd with flagged one-way westbound traffic from Hosner Rd to Altman Rd and signed detours for eastbound traffic to use Oxbow Dr or Dodge Park Blvd. This will continue as crews work to install new Pleasant Home Water District water lines on the south side of part of the Lusted Road right-of-way. This work is expected to take a couple of weeks.

Cottrell Rd (between Lusted Rd and Dodge Park Blvd) Mon-Fri: There will be lane restrictions near the intersection of Cottrell Road and Dodge Park Boulevard to finish erosion control fencing on Dodge Park Boulevard Monday morning. There will also be single-lane closures on Cottrell Rd with flagged two-way traffic between Lusted Rd and Dodge Park Blvd so crews can install tree protection fencing.
