NAPA COUNTY— The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is scheduled to remove 10 dead and/or dying elm trees on State Route-29 (SR-29) starting Monday, November 27, 2017.
The trees are located within the Tunnel of Elms on SR-29 between Pratt Avenue and Deer Park Road in St. Helena. Caltrans working with the City of St. Helena has determined it is necessary to remove the dead and/or dying trees to ensure the safety of the traveling public.
The tree maintenance and removal is scheduled to occur during approximately three-weeks of work starting Monday, November 27, 2017 until Friday, December 15, 2017. Work will be scheduled starting at 8:30 AM until 2:30 PM each day Monday through Friday.
During the work, crews will also trim the remaining trees on SR-29. New trees are scheduled to be planted at a later date. All work is weather permitting.
One-Way Traffic Controls on SR-29
To ensure public and worker safety, one-way traffic controls will be in effect during the work on SR-29 between Pratt Avenue and Deer Park Road in St. Helena. Crews will alternate lane closures in both northbound and southbound directions. This will allow one traffic lane on SR-29 to remain open during the work. Flaggers will help direct traffic.
Motorists should expect delays and allow for extra travel time.
