Palomares Road Closure Extended Into September

From Alameda County Public Works: Alameda County Public Works Agency is extending the closure of Palomares Road to all traffic between Palo Verde Road, Castro Valley, and Niles Canyon Road, Fremont, through September 22, 2017.

Crews have completed the slide repair, removed loose rocks and debris from the hillside, placed protective netting along the slope above the roadway, and installed rock slope protection along the embankment. These measures should add protection from debris falling onto the roadway during future storm events. Both the Contractor and Public Works Agency crews are finalizing the installation of a debris barrier at the base of the slope, completing roadway surface repairs, and striping the travel lanes to enable reopening Palomares Road to all users.

Motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians are advised to avoid the areas and use alternate routes. The
roadway remains fully closed at mile marker 8.70. Residents on either side of the closure will need
to access their homes from either Palo Verde Road or Niles Canyon Road, as appropriate.
Please contact the Maintenance and Operations Department at (510) 670-5500 or visit the Public
Works Agency website at www.acpwa.org for updates.
