🚧 DOWNTOWN MADERA CONSTRUCTION UPDATE | SR-145

Construction continues along State Route 145 (Yosemite Avenue), with crews making progress on roadway improvements, sidewalks, curb ramps, and infrastructure upgrades throughout the project area.

Here's the latest from Caltrans:

📍 Downtown | E Street to Lake Street: Roadway demolition is scheduled to begin this week, followed by grading and paving. Crews are also completing curb and gutter improvements and installing infrastructure for new decorative lighting and landscaping. Weather permitting, paving in the Downtown Segment could be completed by the end of December.

Additional information:

• Traffic Changes: Temporary K-rail remains in place along the west side of Yosemite Avenue, with traffic shifted to the east side. Temporary pavement striping has been refreshed to improve visibility.

• Upcoming Construction Shift: Crews anticipate shifting construction to the opposite side of the roadway around mid- to late November.

• To accelerate progress, the contractor is planning to bring back a second night crew for ongoing work.

📍 North | North of High Street: Six curb ramps have been reconstructed. Roadway grinding and paving will follow work in the Downtown Segment.

📍 South | Avenue 13 to Lewis Street: Northbound lanes are fully open following sidewalk, driveway, and curb ramp improvements. Work continues along the southbound side and is expected to take several more weeks.

📍 Mid | Olive Avenue to Yosemite Avenue: Approximately nine curb ramps have been prepared for demolition. Additional work will follow construction activities in the South Segment.

🚗 Traffic & Business Access Reminders:

Traffic patterns and lane configurations may change as construction progresses. Please slow down, follow posted signs, and use caution around construction crews.

Downtown businesses remain OPEN during construction! Public parking and access from surrounding side streets remain available. Thank you for continuing to support our local businesses throughout these improvements.
