Long-term projects

These have been going on for a while, but are still worth keeping in mind.

  • Richmond Drive at Portola Drive and 24th Avenue in Twin Lakes, Eastside / Live Oak is closed because of ongoing project work. The road will stay closed until October 31 due to unexpected issues that are taking more time to fix.
     
  • PG&E has started work to replace a gas main in the Arroyo and Jolon Drive neighborhood off Green Valley Road in Corralitos / Freedom. There is a soft road closure in the area. Construction is underway and will continue through November 25.
