AROMAS — Highway 129 will be completely shut down starting April 30 for five days.
The major curve realignment project near Aromas will continue on a one-half-mile section of eastbound and westbound Highway 129 near the Santa Cruz/San Benito County line with a five-day full closure beginning April 30 at 9 p.m. until May 5 at 11 p.m.
Electronic message boards will be activated this week, alerting motorists of the work. Motorists are advised to take an alternate route.
The project aims to improve safety by realigning the highway to increase the curve radius and sight distance at the location. Roadwork is scheduled to be completed in June.
The contractor for the $4.5 million project is Graniterock Company of Watsonville.
