Erosion repair project triggers month-long traffic controls on a key Napa County highway.

NAPA VALLEY, CA — Motorists in Napa County will encounter daytime lane closures and one-way traffic controls for more than a month as Caltrans crews repair erosion damage along State Route 121, a heavily traveled corridor connecting Napa Valley communities and recreation areas.

Caltrans will restrict traffic to a single lane between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. at two locations along SR 121, also known as Monticello Road, while construction crews complete erosion repair work designed to protect the roadway and improve long-term stability.

The first construction zone stretches from Circle Oaks Drive to the SR 121/SR 128 intersection. Crews will work in that area until July 22.
