Kingsbury Grade is scheduled to reopen Oct. 7 at 6am.

Construction will continue for the next weeks. Motorists should expect construction-related traffic delays of up to 30 minutes over the next few weeks. Construction is scheduled to resume in spring 2015.

Since the project’s start in May, nearly four miles of roadway have been reconstructed, including excavation of nearly 24,000 cubic yards of old road and placement of 21,000 tons of asphalt. Thus far, 5,900 linear feet of storm drain pipe have also been installed. More than 8,000 linear feet of curb and gutter work have also been put in place.

The $15 million project is aimed at reconstructing pavement on Kingsbury Grade to a 13-inch depth from just east of Daggett Summit to the intersection of Highway 50 at Stateline.
