Caltrans announces it will begin construction on the Cromberg Combined Rehabilitation project starting June 3. This project will completely restore the roadway and improve ride quality on State Route 70 just east of Gill Ranch Road to just west of Big Grizzly Creek Bridge. The project also includes shoulder widening, new guard railing, new bridge rail, upgrades to existing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant facilities, drainage improvements and the addition of additional safety features.
Preliminary work began this past winter, and main construction activities this summer will require traffic control during the daytime construction schedule. Motorists can expect up to 30-minute delays, with the possibility of 24/7 traffic control on unpaved surfaces.
The $101 million project includes 280 working days, with all days requiring traffic control. Night work will be used when feasible and safe. The entire project is expected to be completed by 2026.
Contractor Mercer-Fraser Company, North Region Construction and Caltrans District 2 thank the traveling public and local communities for their patience during the construction of the project.
