Full Closure of US 101 in King City set for Tuesday Overnight, April 20

MONTEREY COUNTY – A Caltrans pavement rehabilitation construction project along US 101 near King City will require a full overnight closure of US 101 in both directions between First Street and Broadway. The schedule for this closure is from Tuesday April 20 at 9 pm to Wednesday April 21 at 5 am. This closure is necessary to make repair of the guardrail in the north and southbound directions at the San Lorenzo Bridge. Work will begin at 9 pm, Tuesday April 20, first in the southbound direction of US 101, with crews closing the highway from Broadway St. to First St. Southbound motorists will be detoured off at the Broadway St. offramp, directed down Broadway to First St, and will re-enter southbound US 101 via the First St. onramp. Once work is completed in the southbound direction, the southbound closure will be lifted, and crews will then initiate a full closure of northbound US 101 from First St. to Broadway St. Northbound traffic will be detoured off at the First St. exit, and will follow Broadway until they re-enter northbound US 101 at the Broadway St. onramp. All onramps within the closure limits will be closed during the duration of the full closure. Directional and electronic signs will direct motorists and CHP will be on hand to provide additional traffic control. Motorists can expect delays of up to 10 minutes. The contractor for this $78 million construction project is OHL, USA of Irvine, CA. This project is expected to be completed in 2021. Caltrans reminds motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway work zones.
