Napa RoundaboutsConstruction Update
Caltrans has begun to close multiple offramps and onramps at First Street in the City of Napa effective Thursday, October 10 during construction of three new roundabouts. The First Street offramp from northbound State Route 29 (SR-29) and the First Street loop onramp from eastbound First Street to northbound SR-29 has been closed effective October 10. Also, northbound and southbound California Boulevard will remain closed between Second Street and Clay Street and no southbound California Blvd. traffic will be allowed to cross First Street. Existing detours will remain in place. These closures were effective Thursday, October 10 through the end of November 2019. Detour signs will be posted. Additionally, east and west lanes on First Street through the construction area will be shifted to accommodate the next phases of work. Drivers are asked to be aware of the new lane configurations. lanes will be flipped to the newly paved streets so crews can begin work on the other side. As you can see from the cool photos, a lot of progress has been made on the project. The first of the three roundabouts is beginning to emerge! We are excited to say that the first of the three roundabouts will be open before Thanksgiving, and the second will be open by Christmas! The project contractor, O.C. Jones, took these great photos and has been working diligently to keep this work moving as quickly as possible. We realize the inconvenience this much construction creates, but appreciate our community’s patience as we move closer to finished roundabouts even more quickly than anticipated. Detours will remain in place, along with previously announced detours currently in place due to the construction. Motorists are encouraged to use alternative routes and allow more time to get to their destinations. Delays are expected in the construction area and drivers should exercise caution. Full detour information can be found here: https://www.cityofnapa.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=139
