Drivers traveling along Old Auburn Road in Citrus Heights can expect minor delays through the start of August, as crews work to repair worn pavement and improve the overall driving experience.
According to city officials, road work on sections of Old Auburn Road in Citrus Heights began on July 21 and will continue through August 1. The project includes repaving sections of the roadway, with crews on site daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Lane closures will be in effect during construction hours, and traffic is being guided by flaggers to help keep vehicles moving safely through the area, the city said.
“We know road work can be an inconvenience, but smoother, safer roads are worth it,” city staff said in a statement announcing the project.
The current improvements are part of Citrus Heights’ broader effort to upgrade aging roadways. More information about ongoing street work and infrastructure investments can be found in the city’s “Transforming Our Roads” flyer, available online at =
