(PLACERVILLE, CA) – El Dorado County’s Department of Transportation (Transportation) will be performing road work beginning April 20, 2026, and continuing through approximately August 2026, as part of the Ponderosa Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project.
The work will require occasional shoulder and lane closures during which motorists should expect delays. These closures are necessary to ensure motorist and worker safety while the County’s contractor adds class II bike lanes and pedestrian sidewalk improvements on Ponderosa Road from Foxwood Lane to Mineshaft Lane.
Motorists are advised to slow down through the work zones and allow extra time in order to arrive at their destinations on time. Project improvements are planned to minimize impacts during school peak hour traffic with most improvement activities and working hours extending during the summer season.
For questions regarding this project, please contact the County’s Transportation main line at (530) 621-5900 (select Option 3 for Engineering).
