Traffic will be detoured around the closures via El Dorado Hills Boulevard, Serrano Parkway and Bass Lake Road. Motorists are encouraged to take other alternate routes around the area that also bypass the closures. Portable changeable message signs will be placed around the work zone to keep motorists updated on any changes to the timing of the closures.

Eastbound lanes from Latrobe Road to Bass Lake Road will be closed from 6-8am; eastbound on-ramp at El Dorado Hills Boulevard-Latrobe Road will be closed from 4:30-8am;  westbound lanes from Bass Lake Road to El Dorado Hills Boulevard-Latrobe Road will be closed from 6-8am; and westbound on-ramp at Bass Lake Road will be closed from 4:30- am.
