Highway 35 Near Bear Creek Road Set for Daytime Closure Wednesday December 13
Highway 35 near Bear Creek Road in the Santa Cruz Mountains, currently operating under one-way reversing traffic control, will be closed to thru traffic on Wednesday Dec. 13, from 7 am to 4 pm.
Crews will be working in the middle of the road with a concrete boom truck pump in order to perform a concrete barrier slab pour. Given the narrow width of the road at that location, a full closure of the highway is required.
Once reopened on Wednesday Dec. 13, this location will return to one-way reversing traffic control by means of a temporary signal which will be in place over the next few months. Crews will continue with additional repair work on the northbound lane behind concrete barriers during that time.
This section of Highway 35 was previously closed on October 2, and reopened November 30, for repairs to damage from winter storms. Crews excavated the site, constructed a soldier pile wall to support the damaged northbound lane, and installed drainage systems.

Our crews deserve to get home safely too. Drive slowly and carefully in work zones.
