LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Caltrans said a repaving project on Highway 29 south of Lower Lake will begin on Monday, July 22.
This $1.7 million project will repave about seven miles of Highway 29 from Lower Lake to near Hidden Valley Lake with a thin asphalt overlay to provide a smoother, safer, driving surface.
The new asphalt layer will be porous, which allows water to drain through the surface. This will provide better traction and reduce tire road spray during wet weather.
Work is anticipated to be completed by the end of August.
Work hours will be 5:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays.
One-way traffic control will be in effect, and motorists should anticipate up to 10-minute delays.
The contractor is Windsor Fuel Co. of Pittsburg.
