April 17, 2019 - MARIPOSA COUNTY – Caltrans is planning a 12-day full highway closure of northbound and southbound State Route 49 (SR-49) from Bear Valley Road to SR-132 in Coulterville to repair pavement and culverts.

The closure is scheduled beginning 7:00 a.m. Monday, April 29, 2019, through 7:00 p.m. Friday, May 10, 2019.

Motorists can expect an additional hour of travel time due to the closure. Access to the towns of Coulterville and Mariposa is available using alternate routes. This closure is being performed to repair or replace three culverts (underground drainage systems) and rebuilding the road over them afterward including repaving and restriping. This work is part of a project repairing roadside slopes that experienced damage and sliding during winter storms and fixing culverts that are worn and/or damaged due to inclement weather.

This $5 million project was awarded to Access Limited Construction.
