Area impacted on HWY 140-49 during Caltrans Mariposa pedestrian Safety Project
Mariposa County, CA – Considered an accident-prone area by Caltrans, work will begin on improving pedestrian safety and traffic conditions from the Highway 140/49 south junction to 12th Street in Mariposa.
The purpose of the Mariposa Pedestrian Safety Projects, according to Caltrans, is “to reduce the number and severity of traffic incidents in this area, which studies determined are greater than the statewide average for similar highways.”
The project is scheduled to get underway sometime in May of this year and will continue into winter. Most of the work will be done overnight, between 10 a.m. and 6 a.m., to lessen the impact on travelers. Flaggers will be directing one-way traffic dur
