FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pavement Work Scheduled Along State Route 20/49

Various Ramp and Lane Closures Expected through Mid August

NEVADA COUNTY --- Caltrans is alerting motorists that various ramp and lane closures are scheduled for the next month along State Routes 20/49 (SR-20/49) in Nevada County as part of the $27 million Gold Nugget Project.

Motorists can expect various lane and ramp closures from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday each week through the middle of August. Construction activity will pause Friday morning and resume the following Sunday night.

Crews are scheduled to start paving the various ramps and auxiliary lanes first from the SR-20/49 separation at West Empire Street to just east of Stonehill Road/Dow Road. Once complete, crews will then grind and repave both eastbound and westbound travel lanes.

The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather conditions, material availability, or other unexpected events.

DeSilva Gates Construction of Dublin is the prime contractor for the project, which is expected to be completed by winter 2025. Once complete, it will rehabilitate the roadway, upgrade curb ramps to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, replace sign panels, upgrade Transportation Management System elements, and rehabilitate drainage systems within the area.

Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to “Be Work Zone Alert” and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.

The department will issue construction updates on X @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at CaltransDistrict3. For real-time traffic, click on Caltrans’ QuickMap or download the QuickMap app from the App Store or Google Play.
