SANTA CRUZ
COUNTY –The retaining wall project that began on Hwy. 17 near Scotts Valley
just north of Glenwood Drive will include a ½ mile lane closure and a major traffic
switch starting Saturday night, Nov. 16 through Monday morning, Nov. 18.
Traffic control is as follows:
1) One lane of
northbound Hwy. 17 will be closed on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 7 pm until
Monday, Nov. 18 at 5 am.
2) One lane
of southbound Hwy. 17 will be closed from Saturday, Nov. 16 at 7 pm
until Monday, Nov. 18 at 5 am. During this time, motorists heading northbound will be crossed over the center median before proceeding on the southbound

3) NOTE: One lane in each direction will
remain open at all times. Electronic message boards, freeway service patrol and
the CHP will be present during this closure to assist with traffic control.

with concrete slab and barrier and pave with hot mix asphalt at this location. The
project is expected to complete in the spring of 2015.
