Caltrans closes Highway 46 East lane
The widening of Hwy. 46 East from McMillan Canyon Road to Lucy Brown Road through Shandon will result in a lane closure between McMillan Canyon Road and East Centre Street on Tuesday, Aug. 30 and Wednesday, Aug. 31 from 9 am until 3 pm for the installation of protective barrier for travelers and highway workers.
Motorists will encounter one-way reversing traffic control with a pilot car and flaggers.
Traffic delays are estimated between 25 to 30 minutes. Central Valley motorists may detour on State Route 198 or State Route 166. Electronic message boards have been activated to alert travelers about this roadwork.
The contractor for this $47 million project is Brosamer & Wall of Walnut Creek CA. It is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2018.
Caltrans asks motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway construction zones.
