Caltrans To Repair Fire-Damaged Highway 29 In Napa County

NAPA COUNTY, CA — Caltrans is slated to begin repairs soon on a stretch of state Highway 29 from Tubbs Lane to the Napa/Lake County line that was damaged in last year's Glass Fire.

The roadwork north of Calistoga is scheduled to start Sept. 20 and continue through Oct. 31. The work will begin on the southbound lanes of SR-29 for five consecutive construction days, then switch to the northbound lanes of SR-29 for another five consecutive construction days.

"Crews will grind down the road and repave more than 6 miles of asphalt," Caltrans Bay Area Spokesperson Pedro Quintana said. "The crews will continue to complete the road repair that includes permanent striping and replacing damaged drainage ditches."

One-way traffic control will be in effect on various sections of northbound and southbound SR-29, during the work hours of 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Friday, with some work occasionally scheduled on weekends.

"The road repair will offer an expected service life of 10 years to the traveling public."
