Salinas: East Alisal Street/Skyway Boulevard Roundabout Project

All underground work has been completed.  Demolition for splitter island and bio-swales is 90% complete, and the contractor, Anderson Pacific Engineering of Santa Clara, will be starting street reconstruction work next week (a 2+ week effort).  The project is on schedule for operational completion by the California International Airshow in Salinas (September 26 and 27). Traffic detours around the intersection are in effect.  Motorists should expect 5-10 minute delays. 

Salinas: Industrial Waste Pipeline Project on Blanco Road: 

The pipeline is fully installed and the westbound traffic closure has been removed.  Two-way traffic with 2 lanes in each direction has been re-established on Blanco Road.  Final striping for the westbound lanes will occur today.  Thus, the project is essentially complete and traffic is back to “normal”.  No additional impacts to traffic are expected for this project.
