Caltrans’ improvements to the electrical infrastructure on Highway 17 north of Scotts Valley will result in overnight shoulder and lane closures starting Sunday.

Travelers on both northbound and southbound Highway 17 between Vine Hill Road and Sugarloaf Road will find shoulder work and possible closure of the #2 (right) lane during overnight work to upgrade the electrical systems. Roadwork will take place from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. from Sunday through Tuesday. 

Message and directional signs will direct travelers before entering the project zone. Travelers can expect delays of up to 10 minutes. Please be aware of crews and equipment working in the area.
