Multiple construction projects have been recently completed or are underway throughout Citrus Heights, including road repairs and resurfacing, safety enhancements, and street restriping. Below is a compiled list of projects.
Dewey Drive. According to a social media update posted on the city’s Facebook account, the city began conducting road repairs on Dewey Drive on Monday, June 24, between Connemara Circle and Greenback Lane. The repairs are expected to take about three weeks until Friday, July 12, according to the city.

San Juan Complete Streets Project: Start date: June 19. Phase 1A of the San Juan Complete Streets project began June 19 along San Juan Avenue and aims to “create safer travel for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists,” the city reported on social media. The project will consist of constructing new sidewalks, buffered bike lanes, and additional street lighting. The city also plans to finish with full roadway restriping and resurfacing. Construction is expected to last through October.
Multi-Modal Transportation Safety Program. On June 17, the city shared several completed safety enhancements on San Pablo Drive and Burich Avenue near San Juan High School as part of their Multi-Modal Transportation Safety Program (MMTSP), which is ongoing and takes into consideration citizen reports of traffic safety concerns.
The city posted photos on social media and listed several safety enhancements, including newly striped parking lanes and double yellow centerlines, new crosswalks at Greenback Lane and Burich Avenue, and at San Simeon Drive and San Pablo Drive, as well as new stop legends and median reflectors. The city also refreshed existing striping in the area.
