ROAD AND LANE CLOSURES SCHEDULED FOR AUG 1 - AUG 7

Here are the major scheduled road and lane closures for the areas between Salinas and North Monterey County from Monday, August 1, through Sunday, August 7:

Davis Road: August 3 – August 4
  • There will be rolling lane closures along Davis Rd. (between Blanco Rd and Rossi Rd) on Wednesday, August 3 from 8 pm until 8 am. Monterey County Public Works will be striping the road.


Highway 68: August 1 – August 5
·         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 7 pm to 5 am, Monday through Friday.

·         Monterey County Public Works continues its work along Hwy 68 and San Benancio. This work is being done during the day; drivers should be alert. Most work will be done behind the concrete barriers that are set up, but 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.

Salinas Rd Project: August 1 - August 5
·         Construction work on Hwy 1 and Salinas Rd. will resume on August 2. Crews will be working on Hilltop Drive and installing bus stops along a planned detour route. No date is set yet for when the detour will start.
