Caltrans Road Roundup

Sonora, CA — Sunny Skies all next week keep Caltrans road crews on the move and Mother Lode motorists can expect delays along several area highways.

The hot spot In Tuolumne County is along Highway 120 where several stretches of road construction will create traffic delays. On the highway, between Old Priest Grade and Yosemite National Park, crews will continue trimming trees. One-way traffic control will be in effect Sunday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. creating up to ten minute delays for travelers.

Tree work will also halt traffic for up to ten minutes on the highway from Fire to Ferretti roads. Flaggers will direct one-way traffic control from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Flaggers will be conducting one-way traffic control on Highway 108 from Lyons Dam Road to east of Strawberry for continued tree work running Monday and Tuesday from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Utility work from Elder Road to Old Highway 120, Tuesday through Friday will bring ten minute delays for motorists. One-lane traffic control will run from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day.

The highway’s closure remains in place in the overnight hours for work on the James E. Roberts Bridge at Lake Don Pedro, Monday through Friday, holding up motorists for about 15-minutes from 5 p.m. until 7 a.m. One-way traffic control will be in place during the daytime.
