Major construction activities on the Channelization Project are tentatively scheduled to start in June 2015, and be completed in 2017.

Although no full highway closures are scheduled at this time, drivers may experience delays as crews work to widen SR-29 with intermittent alternating lane closures in effect during construction. Caltrans will make an announcement once additional project information is available.

The Channelization Project will rehabilitate the pavement, provide a continuous 2-way left turn lane and reconstruct the adjacent bike path.
