Community Development Agency
(Placerville, CA) – The Transportation Division of El Dorado County’s Community Development
Agency will implement full closures of both directions of U.S. 50 between El Dorado Hills Boulevard
and Bass Lake Road, as well as closures of the Latrobe Road on-ramp to eastbound U.S. Highway 50,
the Bass Lake Road on-ramp to westbound U.S. Highway 50, and White Rock Road between Valley
View Parkway and Entrada Circle. Closures are as follows:
Eastbound Closures on Sunday Morning, February 21st
- Eastbound lanes from Latrobe Road to Bass Lake Road will be closed from 6:00 am to 8:00 am.
- Eastbound on-ramp at El Dorado Hills Boulevard / Latrobe Road will be closed from 4:00 am to
8:00 am.
Westbound Closures on Sunday Morning, February 21st
- Westbound lanes from Bass Lake Road to El Dorado Hills Boulevard / Latrobe Road will be closed
from 6:00 am to 8:00 am.
- Westbound on-ramp at Bass Lake Road will be closed from 4:00 am to 8:00 am.
These closures are necessary to facilitate blasting operations on the north side of U.S. Highway 50 for
the County’s Silva Valley Interchange Project. While the closures are in place, both directions of U.S.
Highway 50 traffic will be detoured around the closures via El Dorado Hills Boulevard, Serrano
Parkway and Bass Lake Road. Motorists are encouraged to take other alternate routes around the area
which also bypass the closures. Portable changeable message signs will be placed around the work zone
to keep motorists updated on any changes to the timing of the closures.
Questions regarding these temporary closures may be directed to the Aradhana Kochar, the County’s
resident engineer for this project, via e-mail at silvavalley@edcgov.us.
