Angels Camp, CA – The public’s opinion is being sought on the Highway 49 Mobility Improvement Project in Calaveras County.

Caltrans will hold an in-person public meeting for the project tomorrow (Wed., Feb. 8) at the Bret Harte Union High School Multipurpose Room at 323 South Main Street in Angels Camp from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Caltrans proposes to make intersection, roadway, pedestrian, and bicycle improvements and modify the intersection with either “a roundabout or signalized intersection.” The latter is also being proposed for the Highway 49 and Francis Street intersection just north.

Caltrans added that the purpose of the meeting is to update the community on the project’s progress and obtain public comments on the project and the draft environmental document. Those unable to attend the meeting can still be heard by submitting written comments to Jonathan Coley, Senior Environmental Scientist Supervisor, District 10 Environmental Compliance, California Department of Transportation, 1976 E. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Stockton, CA 95205, or emailing jonthan.coley@dot.ca.gov. The deadline for comments is February 24th.

For more information on the project and its estimated costs, click here, or contact Project Manager Powell Yang at (209) 639-7328, powell.yang@dot.ca.gov. After considering all comments received, Caltrans will continue with the project’s environmental process and design. Caltrans targets the spring for final approval of the project, with its completion in the fall of 2027.
