Amador County – Caltrans maintenance field crews will participate in a statewide Litter Removal and Enforcement Day on Thursday, April 19 on three State Roads in Amador County.

Crews will pick up litter on Highway 16 in Ione from the Sacramento/Amador County line to Highway 124. They will work on 124 from 88 to 16. In Pine Grove, watch for workers on 88, just west of the Old Highway Connection to Martell. Work is planned on 88 near Sugar Loaf Drive to about McFadden Road; and in Peddler Hill, on 88 from Dew Point Road to Hams Station, covering areas with no Adopt-A-Highway sponsorship. In Caples Lake crews will work on 88 snow parks and the Kirkwood Inn area.

Litter will be stockpiled near 88 at the Old Highway Connection; near Dew Drop Road; and in a dumpster near the Kirkwood Inn area.

The activity is to enhance public awareness of the volume and cost associated with removing litter, trash and debris by removing litter along the highways and roadways. Caltrans urged people to drive slow in the “cone zones.”
