Natomas Construction Update: Reach A site preparation activities schedule
What: USACE contractors are working in proximity to our Natomas Reach A levee locations to conduct tree trimming and removals now through February 2021. Those traveling through these sections should expect temporary single lane closures to occur along Garden Highway between Farm Rd and Gateway Oaks Dr.
Why: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is expected to award the Natomas Reach A construction contract later this year to construct levee improvements along a 3.5-mile stretch of levee between Farm Rd and Gateway Oaks Dr. In order to minimize delays in beginning construction in Spring 2022, encroachments within the construction footprint, such as utilities and trees, must be removed or relocated prior to the start of work.
When: Site preparation activities will be ongoing through February 2022; however, the current schedule for tree trimming and removals is as follows (weather permitting):
January 8 - 18, 2021: Orchard Lane to Pumping Plants 1A and 1B
January 19 - 26, 2021: Near 1610 Garden Hwy to the Ray and Judy Tretheway Oak Preserve
January 27 - February 1, 2021: Near 2800 Garden Hwy to near 2604 Garden Hwy
February 2 - 8, 2021: North of I-80 overpass
For more information: Additionally, please see the attached mailer for some additional information about site preparation activities.
