BRIDGE PAVING PROJECTS IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY SET TO BEGIN TUESDAY MAY 26 WITH OVERNIGHT CLOSURES
Projects to improve pavement quality on bridges and ramps on three state routes in Santa Cruz County are set to begin this Tuesday, May 26. Travelers can expect intermittent overnight work at these three locations over the next few months.
These pavement rehabilitation projects will take place on Hwy. 1 at the onramp to Hwy. 17 in Santa Cruz, on Hwy. 17 near Granite Creek Rd. in Scotts Valley, and on Hwy. 129 near Blackburn Street in Watsonville.
Travelers will encounter overnight ramp and lane closures at various locations within the project area during this pavement rehabilitation work.
The closure of a single lane on these state routes will take place intermittently Monday thru Friday from 8 pm to 6 am. No lane closures will be in effect between Friday at 6 am thru Monday at 8 pm.
Travelers may expect delays of up to 5 minutes. This project will result in a smoother safer drive for the traveling public.
The contractor for this $1 million project is Truesdell Corporation from Tempe, AZ. This project is expected to be completed by July 31, 2026.
Our crews deserve to get home safely too. Drive slowly and carefully in work zones.
