INSTALLATION OF BARRIERS WILL ELIMINATE LEFT TURNS ACROSS U.S. 101 AT DUNBARTON ROAD STARTING THE NIGHT OF MONDAY, MARCH 9

MONTEREY COUNTY – Caltrans and Granite Construction Company will install k-rail (concrete barriers) on US 101 at Dunbarton Road and Dunbarton Road south on the night of Monday, March 9, permanently eliminating left turns across US 101 in North Monterey County. The closures are part of the San Juan Road Interchange project and mark a major milestone for safety along U.S. Highway 101 in North Monterey County.

Closing the left turns across U.S. Highway 101 at these locations will increase safety for motorists, and will result in new access routes for Dunbarton Road and Dunbarton Road south.

The new routes are:

Northbound Highway 101 to Dunbarton Road:

·         Exit right to San Juan Road

·         Turn left onto San Juan Road

·         Turn left onto Dunbarton Road

Southbound Highway 101 to Dunbarton Road (South):

·         Exit right to Crazy Horse Canyon Road

·         Turn left on Crazy Horse Canyon Road

·         Turn left onto the northbound Highway 101 on-ramp

·         Exit right to Dunbarton Road (South)

Directional signs and changeable message boards will be in place to help direct motorists.

Please see map for details.

Following the barrier installation, crews will begin construction of the permanent concrete median barrier. Completion of the San Juan Road Interchange Project is currently scheduled for summer of 2015.
