Lane closures on west slope of El Dorado County

If you're planning a trip to the west slope near El Dorado Hills, you'll want to take note of a lane closure that will hamper travel.

The Transportation Division of El Dorado County’s Community Development Agency will have Francisco Drive in El Dorado Hills closed from the intersection of El Dorado Hills Blvd to Cambria Way beginning on Wednesday, April 1, 2015 and continuing for 7 days, 24 hours per day, until reopening on Wednesday, April 8, 2015.

This closure facilitates the construction of the Right-Turn Pocket flowing from Francisco Drive to El Dorado Hills Blvd. Once complete, this project will improve the overall flow of traffic from Francisco Drive south onto El Dorado Hills Blvd. This closure will provide enhanced safety to the traveling public during this phase of the construction, as well as decreasing the overall construction time of the project.

During this closure, access will be available to Cambria Way and Embarcadero Drive. Detours around the road closure will be clearly posted and in effect for the duration of the closure. Pedestrian access will remain open along the temporary pedestrian path around the work zone.

The county apologizes for any inconveniences as a result of this closure and appreciate your cooperation and patience during this project. For questions regarding these lane closures, please contact the Transportation main line at (530) 621-5900.
