Construction will slow traffic along a key stretch of Highway 180 for a few days, according to the California Department of Transportation.
Caltrans also plans to close a Highway 99 on-ramp in the Fresno area, the state roads agency announced via Facebook.
“Motorists should plan accordingly,” Caltrans said via Facebook.
Here’s when and where to expect delays.
Highway 180 under traffic control in Fresno
Caltrans closed the park-and-ride facility on westbound Highway 180 at McCall Avenue on Monday, March 9, for “landscaping operations,” the agency said in a Facebook post.
The closure, which began at 8:15 a.m. Monday, was scheduled to end at 2:15 p.m.
Highway 180 will be under two-way traffic control between the Friant Canal and Alta Avenue from 8:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10, due to “pavement repairs,” Caltrans said.
More pavement repairs are planned on Wednesday, March 11, and Thursday, March 12.
On those days, Highway 180 will be under two-way traffic control from just east of Frankwood Avenue to just east of the Friant Canal from 8:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m..
Caltrans reminded commuters to “obey flagging personnel and pay close attention to road construction vehicles and personnel.”
When will Highway 99 on-ramp close? Where?
The northbound Highway 99 on-ramp at Olive Avenue also closed on Monday for landscaping, Caltrans said in a separate Facebook post.
The closure began at 9 a.m. Monday and will conclude at 3 p.m., the state roads agency said.
“Closures may continue for longer periods of time … due to delays caused by weather or uncontrollable events that may occur during maintenance,” Caltrans said, adding that the scheduled roadwork is “weather permitting.”
Drivers should “take extra care and allow for additional travel time” while traveling in the area,” Caltrans said.
