Here are the major scheduled road and lane closures for the areas between Salinas and North Monterey County between Thursday, May 26 and Friday, June 3:
Union Pacific Railroad Track Work in Salinas: May 23 - 2
- Union Pacific Railroad will close the crossing at John St. in Salinas (between Spring St and Work St) to do some safety upgrades. This will be a full closure – Caltrans will provide signs to guide travelers through the suggested detour route. With the Salinas Valleys' agricultural production in full swing, and that truck traffic is heavy in these areas, travelers are advised to please anticipate periods of congestion during these times.
Union Pacific Railroad Track Work in Aromas: May 31 – June 1
- Beginning Tuesday, May 31, at 8:00 a.m., Union Pacific Railroad (UP) will close San Juan Road just north of Aromas Road to repair the railroad crossing at that location. According to UP, the repairs are needed as the crossing has been damaged by truck and rail traffic and the road must be closed to complete the work. Railroad repairs will last until Wednesday, June 1, at 4:00 PM, weather permitting.
During this closure period, all traffic wishing to travel on San Juan Road will have to find alternate routes either via San Miguel Canyon Road or Highway 129. Truck drivers and commuters should be prepared for delays and congestion on nearby Highway 101 not only because of increased traffic from the detour, but because of on-going Prunedale Improvement Project road construction. Drivers should be alert and watch for detour signage.
