Murphys, CA — Crews have been making sidewalk improvements along Pennsylvania Gulch Road in Murphys, and the Calaveras Public Works Department is alerting the community that it will continue this weekend.
On Saturday, crews will be in the area between 7 am – 6 pm. Traffic along Pennsylvania Gulch Road may experience delays. There will also be barricades, warning devices, and flaggers. Sidewalk access will remain closed for the duration of the project.
The weekend work is being done as school is back in session, effective earlier this week, at nearby Michelson Elementary School.
