Evening Work at the Fulton Rd and Guerneville Rd Intersection

[new!] Over two consecutive evenings in early October the contractor will be paving the intersection at Fulton Rd and Guerneville Rd. While underway traffic control measures and detours will be in place. The exact dates and times have not yet been confirmed. Additional information will be provided in subsequent newsletters and on the project website once it becomes available.

Project Update

[updated!] The contractor began installing the center medians throughout the project site last week. Crews started working at the north end of the project near Piner Road and are currently moving south along Fulton Road towards the Guerneville Road intersection. This work is expected to last for another 2 weeks, with traffic control measures limited to the areas where crews are actively working. As always, when traveling in or near the construction areas, be cautious and aware of work crews, flaggers, traffic control, rough roadways, special signage, and heavy equipment. Please be prepared for temporary traffic control measures throughout the work area.

It’s currently anticipated that the project will be completed by early November, 2024. Note – all schedules are subject to change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. The completion of work is also largely dependent on the contractor’s schedule and when city inspectors are able to sign-off on the work. City staff are currently inspecting the contractor’s recent work to ensure it meets the contract specifications. Any roadway panels that do not comply with the contract will be replaced at the contractor’s expense.

Construction Underway and Upcoming

In addition to the ongoing replacement of roadway panels, the installation of landscape irrigation controllers and landscape plantings is currently underway. The installation of median curbs is anticipated to get underway the first week of September. While there may be some traffic control/lane closure, these two items are not expected to significantly impact use of the roadway.

It’s anticipated that paving at the intersections of Fulton/Guerneville and Fulton/Piner will take place in late September or early October. Following that, crews will continue with various smaller “punch list” items.

Project Overview

This project will widen, reconstruct, and rehabilitate one mile of Fulton Road between Guerneville Road and Piner Road, transforming it into an updated, four-lane regional/arterial street, as well as provide many other improvements.

Work hours: 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Monday thru Friday. With City approval, periodic work on nights (8:30 P.M. to 5:00 A.M.) or weekends may take place.
