Lanes Closed For Bridge Construction On Highway 121 In Napa

NAPA COUNTY, CA -- Caltrans announced that as of Wednesday morning, June 21, the dedicated right-turn lane from eastbound Trancas Street in Napa to southbound state Route 121 is closed until further notice to accommodate construction of a new Sarco Creek Bridge.

"Southbound SR-121 from Trancas Street will continue to be open to local residents only," said Vince Jacala of Caltrans District 4. "The new traffic configuration is necessary for worker and public safety."

Jacala said Caltrans worked closely with the city of Napa on a new traffic configuration, which will be in effect until construction of the bridge is completed.

Closure of SR-121 at Sarco Creek Bridge began last week and will remain in effect as crews prepare to demolish and rebuild the bridge, according to Jacala.

Caltrans expects the project will take about six months to complete.

"Stationary mounted signs and changeable message signs will be strategically stationed to provide information regarding reduced traffic lanes, and other construction information," according to a Caltrans statement.

More information about the Sarco Creek Bridge project is posted on the Caltrans website.
