Road work to cause delays on Hwy. 50 near Shingle Springs
Caltrans will be working on Highway 50 in the Shingle Springs area between April 20 and May 14, which will cause traffic delays.
Crews will be building a $1.6 million wildlife under crossing between Greenstone Road and El Dorado Road.
Expect delays to range from 20 to 50 minutes.
Motorists can expect lane closures:
Westbound on Highway 50 from 7pm to 9am, Friday through Sunday, April 20–30.
Eastbound on Highway 50 from 6pm to 8am, Saturday through Monday, May 5–14.
This schedule is subject to change without notification due to weather conditions and contractor discretion.
I certainly hope all of the wildlife knows what to do with the undergound crossing. They don’t like tunnels and confining places to start with.
Who is going to be the cross walk attendent????
I would like to see a report next year, at this time, indicating how much it is used.
Actually Shirley, you just made all of that up about wildlife not liking tunnels or confined places. These things have been going up on migration routes throughout the world. A quick google search will show that they are very successful. Not as good as not having a road, but a whole lot better than nothing.
