Construction work will begin the evening of Sunday, March 25th at the southeast corner of West Line Street and Sunland Drive. Hours of construction are expected to be from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am.  Contractors will be removing and replacing sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and driveways.  Eastbound traffic will be detoured into the two way left turn lane in the area of active construction and traffic signals will be changed to flashing red (stop all directions before proceeding).  Access to businesses and services will be closely coordinated with affected owners to minimize disruptions.

The Bishop ADA Project will improve pedestrian access for all residents and visitors to Bishop.  It is one of Caltrans’ projects to improve ADA accessibility to pedestrian facilities throughout the state.
