Traffic delays are expected on Highway 88 in the Pioneer area from June 2 through June 6, 2014, due to construction on the Amador Water Agency Gravity Supply Line.
Drivers should expect up to 30 minute delays in the area between Tiger Creek Road and Silver Drive where the 6.6-mile pipeline construction crosses Highway 88.
Construction crews will begin work in Tiger Creek Road, above the Tiger Creek Powerhouse, on June 9, 2014 through December 31, 2014. The road will be closed to through traffic during this period. Alternate public access to the area will be provided via Salt Springs Road during the closure.
The Gravity Supply Line will deliver Mokelumne River water from the Tiger Creek Regulator Reservoir to AWA’s Buckhorn Water Treatment Plant and replace the current aging pumped raw water delivery system, greatly reducing operating costs and power-related water interruptions for upcountry water customers.
Amador Water Agency thanks the public for their patience during construction of this critical infrastructure improvement. Please contact Bailey Civil Engineering at (209) 256-6510 with any questions or concerns.
