FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
One-Way Traffic Control To Begin for
State Route 1 Projects
Marin and Sonoma Counties – This week Caltrans is beginning one-way traffic control at several
locations on State Route 1.
Marin County
- On
Monday, June 16, Caltrans will begin installation of a traffic signal on
State Route 1 at Cypress Road near Point Reyes Station in Marin County.
When the signal is installed, one-way traffic control will be in effect this
summer and fall during construction of a slope repair project.
Sonoma County
- On Tuesday, June 17, Caltrans will
energize a new temporary traffic signal on State Route 1 at the north end
of Fort Ross State Park. One-way traffic control will be in effect
for about five months for construction of a 265 foot long soldier pile wall
located west of the highway in order to prevent further erosion.
- This process of building a soldier pile
wall will involve drilling 36 shafts at seven and a half foot (7’-6”) intervals,
inserting a steel beam at each shaft, and backfilling with concrete. The
area behind the steel beams will be excavated in stages, and timber lagging
will be installed between the steel beams. The roadway will be widened as
well.
·
On Wednesday, June 18, Caltrans will reenergize the traffic signal
on State Route 1 just south of Fort Ross. One-way traffic control will be in effect for
about three months to stabilize the uphill side of the highway by placing rock
slope protection.
Please drive
cautiously through the construction zones, leave a safe traveling distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you, and “Slow for the Cone
Zone.”
