Project Will Repair and Replace Existing Crosswalks
October 25, 2024 – MARIPOSA, CA – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will begin crosswalk construction work on State Route 140 (SR-140) through downtown Mariposa this weekend as part of the SR-140 Pavement Improvement Project. The work is scheduled to begin this Thursday, October 24, and continue through Monday, October 28, 2024, with overnight construction, and one-way traffic controls.
The construction work will take place on eastbound SR-140 in Mariposa between 7th Street and 12th Street to install new embedded lighting, and stamped concrete to the roadway.
Caltrans will have eastbound SR-140 closed with one-way traffic control in place on westbound SR-140, for the safety of motorists, pedestrians, roadway workers and equipment. The construction schedule is as follows:
- One-way traffic control on westbound SR-140 from 6th Street to SR-49 North for crosswalk construction beginning Thursday, October 24, at 7:00 p.m. continuing through to Monday, October 28, 2024, at 6:00 a.m.
Roadside messaging and no parking signage will be in place along SR-140 to alert motorists of scheduled highway lane closures in addition to crosswalk closure signs that will be posted on surface streets for pedestrians.
By improving the roadway surface, this project will benefit residents and tourists traveling to and from the town of Mariposa, as well as motorists, and commercial vehicles traveling throughout Mariposa County and beyond.
The work schedule is subject to change based on traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment and/or materials, and/or construction-related issues.
