Caltrans is going to begin a paving project on Highway 89 in Meyers on Monday.

About 8.6 miles will be microsurfaced and then restriped from the intersection of highways 89 and 50 south to the El Dorado/Alpine county line. Microsurfacing involves applying a cement-mixed slurry seal to the pavement.Intermountain Slurry Seal Inc. was awarded the construction contract for $821,821.

Expect one-way traffic control on weekdays from 6:30am-5pm. There will be no work on weekends and on July 4. The project is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 8.
