For Immediate Release - October 25th, 2024
HALLOWEEN NIGHTand DOWNTOWN CONSTRUCTION
Mariposa County is aware of the issues arising from the construction of crosswalks that are currently taking place and currently scheduled on Halloween Night.
As our community is aware, the highway is the State's Jurisdiction. Cal Trans is the ultimate authority for the project.
We share and hear the concerns of our community members and have been in contact with Cal Trans regarding Halloween Night for the safety of our children and community members.
They are aware of our concerns and have noted they will do what they can to work with the contractor to minimize safety concerns during a busy night for our community. One solution included extending the work window for the contractor, which is the primary reason, the community saw them working after 6 AM the morning of Friday, October 25th.
As a reminder, work is scheduled to take place from October 24th, 2024, through November 25th, 2024, and will include traffic controls to allow for the concrete to cure.
The following is the current released closures from Cal Trans:
We understand that the construction can come at an inconvenience but know this will ultimately improve the safety of our main throughway for our community and visitors.
We ask that you be patient and allot more travel time to accommodate the construction.
