Caltrans District 9 Advises Week of Nov. 16-20: U.S. 395 Work Zones, Wire Pulls Near Mono Lake
Caltrans District 9, based in Bishop, issued its traffic advisory on November 12 for the week of November 16-20, covering Mono, Inyo and eastern Kern counties in eastern California. Drivers should budget extra time and slow down through work zones on U.S. 395 and state routes 58, 168, 190 and 158.
The week's new item is in Mono County: wire pulls on U.S. 395 at State Route 167 near Mono City, by Mono Lake, on Monday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with intermittent traffic breaks and delays of up to 10 minutes.
Ongoing projects continue across the district: bridge work on SR-58 at Cameron Canyon near Mojave closes outside lanes and shoulders in both directions Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; a city utility project on SR-168 West in Bishop runs 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. with delays of about five minutes; the Bishop Pavement Project on U.S. 395 and SR-168 West, from Jay Street to Wye Road, is posted at 25 mph; the Manzanar Pavement Project south of Independence is placing striping and rumble strips at 55 mph, and 25 mph within Independence; sidewalk work continues in Lone Pine; sign work is under way on SR-190 in the Death Valley area; pavement repair continues at Little Lake; pole replacement runs Monday through Wednesday on SR-158 at June Lake; drainage work closes the northbound outside lane at Conway Summit; cape seal work at Topaz extends to the Nevada state line; and the Lee Vining Pavement Rehabilitation on U.S. 395, from SR-120 West to Picnic Grounds Road, keeps outside lanes and shoulders closed around the clock on weekdays and open on weekends.
On funding, the Lee Vining project ($26.24 million), the Manzanar project ($44.64 million) and the Bishop project ($18.36 million) are funded mainly by the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (IIJA), with California's SB 1 adding $3.52 million, $5.78 million and $2.4 million respectively. California expects about $41.9 billion over five years from the federal law, while SB 1 provides roughly $5 billion a year for state and local road maintenance.
Questions can be directed to Michael Lingberg of Caltrans District 9 at (760) 920-0280. Schedules may shift with weather, and travelers should check the latest advisory before setting out.
