August 6, 2021 - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), along with the U.S. Forest Service, announces the scheduled project to remove hundreds of felled or hazardous trees along State Route 41 in both Madera and Mariposa Counties.
The following will occur:
-
The project, roughly 6 miles long, is scheduled to begin Monday, August 9th and last 30 working days.
- During the project at least 350 felled or hazardous trees will be removed to help forest fire fuel reduction.
- The project will take place on State Route 41 starting in Madera County (about 4 miles south of the Madera/Mariposa County line) and into Mariposa County (approximately 2 miles north of the Mariposa/Madera County line.
- Portions of State Route-41 will have traffic control from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., each week, Monday through Friday.
- The project will have one-way traffic control along the route depending on where work is being performed. Be aware a pilot car may be present to guide motorists through the work zone so be prepared to stop.
- Motorists can expect delays of 5 to 10 minutes and a speed limit reduction in the work zone.
Closures may continue for longer periods of time, if necessary, due to delays caused by weather or uncontrollable events that may occur.
