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.”

Roadway Resurfacing on Shoreline Highway in Marin County

August 16, 2012
Starting tomorrow morning, Friday, August 17, Caltrans will begin repairing damaged sections of the roadway surface on Highway 1 (Shoreline Highway) between Flamingo and West California. The work will performed during daytime hours for a period of approximately two and one half weeks. This work is being performed during the daytime to mitigate the potential noise impacts of the machinery used to remove the damaged roadway surface.

There will be one-lane traffic control during this work. Flaggers will assist with traffic control.

Around August 27, the Caltrans' contractors will begin to resurface the roadway from Highway 101 to Stinson Beach with a new wearing course of asphalt that will extend the life of the heavily traveled roadway. The resurfacing activity will take place overnight. However, the operations will move down the roadway relatively quickly at a rate of approximately 2 miles per night. You may be disrupted for a portion of one or two nights as the equipment passes by.

Caltrans apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. Please remember to Slow for the Cone Zone.
