FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Highway 160-Three-Mile Slough Bridge near Rio Vista

One-Way Traffic Controls July 23 and July 24

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will perform electrical work on the Three-Mile Slough Bridge on Highway 160 near Rio Vista this week.

The work is scheduled to be performed on Wednesday, July 23, and Thursday, July 24. Work will start at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m. each day.

All work is weather permitting.

Crews will replace overhead street lights with LED street lights on the bridge.

To ensure public and worker safety, one-way traffic controls will be in effect. Crews will alternate lane closures in both eastbound and westbound directions. This will allow one lane on the bridge to remain open during the work. Flaggers will help direct traffic. Motorists should expect delays and allow for extra travel time.

Please drive cautiously and leave a safe traveling distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.

Caltrans appreciates your patience as we work to maintain California’s bridges.

For boat and ship traffic, the bridge will operate normally for any vessels passing underneath it along Three Mile Slough.
