New South Monterey County Road Projects Will Improve Agribusiness Travel

According to the Monterey County Resource Management Agency, Public Works has begun two road projects in South Monterey County that will improve roads heavily used by agribusiness and winery tourism.
Work began on both Arroyo Seco and River Roads on Monday, September 30. Signage alerting users to the work is also now in place. Project impacts will be light the first week, but beginning on Monday, October 7, those who use these roads will see traffic control and a pilot car during construction hours which are Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.
Public Works is coordinating with area growers to reduce impacts of the projects on harvesting activities.
Pre-work studies on roadway viability were done last spring. In both locations, the roadway will undergo a complete transformation using an eco-friendly process. Crews will dig down 15 inches, bringing up materials that will be collected, recycled and reused with new material at the site to rebuild the roadway to last another 15 to 20 years. Another project benefit will be new, brighter striping that will be more visible at night in these areas which have no streetlights.
Project Details:
Arroyo Seco Road: work is taking place along an approximately one and a half-mile stretch between Highway 101 (milepost 21.21) and Paraiso Springs Road (mile post 19.88). Work hours will be Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. Drivers will encounter traffic controls and a pilot car. This project is expected to run through November 27th. Information about this project is online.
River Road: work will take place along a three-mile stretch between Chualar River Road (mile post 9.07) and Limekiln Road (mile post 12.20). Works hours will be Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Drivers will encounter traffic controls and a pilot car. This project is expected to last through December 20th. Information about this project is online.
Total cost for these projects is approximately $7.5 million, which is a savings of an estimated $1 million because the projects were put out to bid together and are being done simultaneously.
These projects are funded by SB1 and Measure X.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau. Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass. CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try to determi
