(PLACERVILLE, CA) -- El Dorado County’s Department of Transportation (Transportation) in coordination with Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) and AT&T will be performing utility work anticipated to begin April 2026 and continuing through approximately December 2026. This utility relocation work is being done as part of previously planned road widening an bridge replacements projects. On December 13, 2016, the Board signed Resolution 205-2016 to create an underground utility district in this area to improve the safety, public health, and welfare of County residents along this roadway. Bridge construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2027.
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 contractors for the utility companies complete the undergrounding of the utilities.
Motorists are advised to slow down through the work zones and allow extra time in order to arrive at their destinations on time.
For questions regarding this project, please contact the County’s Transportation main line at (530) 621-5900 (select Option 3 for Engineering).
