Construction began on Antelope Road on Monday June 9, according to an announcement from the city.
Major construction is expected to take place on Antelope Road between Garden Gate Drive and Auburn Boulevard from June 9 until June 27, the city said. Construction work will focus on repairing worn-out pavement. Crews will be working Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. through June 27.
Expect lane closures in one direction at a time, along with some traffic delays. Westbound work will come first, followed by eastbound work, the city said.
According to an update from Citrus Heights General Services Director Regina Cave on various upcoming road projects, Antelope Road is expected to be resurfaced from Roseville Road to Auburn Boulevard in 2026, along with resurfacing of several other major and minor streets throughout the city as part of the city’s Three-Year-Pavement-Preservation program.
The city’s recently drafted budget, presented in a special city council meeting on May 28, has allocated $4 million from the city’s general fund for both fiscal year 2025-26 and 2026-27 toward roads, according to an agenda packet released on June 6.
