FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nevada County --- Caltrans is alerting motorists that various ramp closures will continue for another month along State Routes 20/49 (SR-20/49) in Nevada County as part of the $26 million Gold Nugget Project.

Motorists can expect various ramp closures between Grass Valley and Nevada City from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Construction activity will pause Friday morning and resume the following Sunday night, continuing through the end of May.

Crews are working to upgrade these facilities to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Roadside message signs will be in place along SR-20/49 to alert motorists of the closures and no ramps will be closed consecutively.

Various lane closures also are scheduled to take place both westbound and eastbound for drainage work. The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather conditions, material availability, or other unexpected events.

Construction for the Gold Nugget Project started last month and the project will rehabilitate the pavement between the SR-20/49 separation and Stonehill Road/Dow Road. It will also replace sign panels, upgrade Transportation Management System elements, and rehabilitate drainage systems within the area.

DeSilva Gates Construction of Dublin is the prime contractor for the project, which is expected to be completed by winter 2025.

Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to "Be Work Zone Alert" and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.

The department will issue construction updates on @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at CaltransDistrict3. For real-time traffic, click on Caltrans' QuickMap or download the QuickMap app from the App Store or Google Play.
