ROAD AND LANE CLOSURES SCHEDULED FOR JULY 18 - 24

Here are the major scheduled road and lane closures for the areas between Salinas and North Monterey County from Monday, July 18, through Sunday, July 24:

Davis Road: July 18 – July 22

·         Monterey County Public Works will continue working on Davis Road, from Hwy 183 to Blanco Rd., between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., July 18 – 22.

o    This work will have southbound Davis Rd., between Hwy 183 and Blanco Rd., closed.
o    Northbound Davis Rd. will have one lane open.
·         This project is expected to last two more weeks and drivers should expect significant delays. Detour signs will direct traffic through the area.

Highway 68: July 18 – July 22

·         Caltrans is placing hot mix asphalt on the existing roadbed in two separate locations on Highway 68 in Monterey – from west of SPCA Road to west of San Benancio Road; and from east of San Benancio Road to west of Reservation Road. This work will result in nighttime single lane closures and one-way traffic control  on Hwy 68 from 8 pm to 5 am, Monday through Friday.

·         Monterey County Public Works will continue working along Hwy 68 and San Benancio. They will be excavating pavement behind the k-rail. This work will be done during the day; drivers should be alert and minor delays are possible.

·         While road work on Hwy 68 is going on drivers heading toward Salinas from the Monterey Peninsula may want to consider taking Hwy 1 to Imjin Rd to Reservation Rd as an alternate route to avoid construction-related delays.

Prunedale Improvement Project: July 18 – July 24

·         Caltrans will close part of Cross Rd. in Prunedale beginning July 18. This closing will be where the new Pollack Rd. extension will join Cross Rd.

·         Cross Rd will be open for residents, but will be closed to through traffic.
o    Residents on the west side of the Pollack Rd. extension will access Cross Rd from Reese Circle.
o    Residents on the east side of the Pollack Rd. extension will access Cross Rd. by way of Pesante Rd.
·         Detour signs will be posted throughout the area.
·         Crews will be removing the pavement, installing the new box culverts, and making improvements along Cross Rd. and Reese Circle.
·         Cross Rd. will be closed to through traffic for approximately 6 months starting with the detour for this box culvert, and progressing to the construction of Cross Rd. and a box culvert near Reese Circle. 
  • During this period Granite Construction crews will be working from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.


    • PG&E is conducting gas relocation on Reese Circle at the intersection of Cross Road resulting in a lane closure on Reese Circle beginning July 14 thru July 22.  Traffic Control is in place including flagging operations. 

    • PG&E will also be working on Echo Valley Road on July 19 & July 20. They will be installing overhead power lines; there will be lane closures and flagging operations. 


    ·         On Hwy 101 Caltrans also will close the following, between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., July 18 – July 21:
    o    One Northbound lane, between San Miguel Canyon Rd and Tustin Rd. 
    o    One Southbound lane, between Tustin Rd and San Miguel Canyon Rd. 
    o    The Northbound San Miguel Canyon off-ramp
    o    The Northbound San Miguel Canyon on-ramp
    o    The Southbound San Miguel Canyon off ramp


    ·         Caltrans’ planned closure of the Northbound HWY 101 on and off ramps at Russell/Espinoza has been delayed due to utility work. TAMC will provide an update when the work is rescheduled.

    ·         Granite Construction will continue hauling materials in and out of Reese Circle during the work week. This will not result in any lane closures, but there will be flaggers in the area directing traffic, and there may be brief delays.

    Please keep in mind that two special events this weekend will result in increased traffic throughout Monterey County July 21-24:
