Caltrans has several areas of road work  planned. The detailed schedule of work below may change due to weather, traffic, availability of equipment, and other issues.

As reported Caltrans is ready to rumble on Highway 108 with crews installing  a center line of striping and shoulder rumble strips along a total of 27 miles on Highway 108 in Tuolumne County that will begin this week and wrap up sometime this summer. The overnight work this week starts Monday through Friday from 8 PM until 6 AM. Daytime hours will be in place for the Twain Harte to Strawberry section with the hours of operation from 6 AM to 6 PM weekdays, with Friday’s shift ending at 3 PM to free the roads for weekend visitors. The three locations are:

  • From HWY 49/108 junction (Stockton Street intersection) to Draper Mine Road, about 6 miles
  • A half-mile west of Twain Harte Drive and Tuolumne Road North intersection to Stoddard Springs, about 12 miles
  • From Bald Mountain Heliport Road to a half-mile west of Herring Creek Lane in the Strawberry area, about 9 miles

Higher up Highway 108 near Confidence from Leisure Pines Road and Confidence Road one-way traffic control for utility work may cause five-minute delays. The work is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday from 7 AM to 5 PM.
