San Andreas, CA— Bridge work in the San Andreas area of Calaveras County will require a full closure of a section of Gold Strike Road followed by one-lane traffic, causing lengthy traffic delays next week.

The Gold Strike Road Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program got underway after being delayed to the middle of last month and will continue through mid-February, as reported here in January. Calaveras Public Works officials report traffic delays at Bridge 22 Murray Creek, south of Leonard Road, and Bridge 23 at the North Fork Calaveras River, south of the Gold Strike Road and the Highway 49 intersection.

While no weekend work is anticipated, public works officials warn, “During construction operations, there will be limited access to the roadway due to large equipment, so please use designated detour routes whenever possible.
