Hwy 49 Roundabout in Plymouth will be an Asset for Tourists, Residents & Businesses in Amador County |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/14/2017 02:11 PM
|
Amador County, CA...Times are changing in the town of Plymouth, which was established as a Gold Country mining camp in 1852. Now adjacent State Route 49 (SR-49) is changing, as well. While Plymouth is eager to diversify its economy with additional tourism, it also recognizes the fiscal benefits provided by the region’s dozens of wineries and its crucial agriculture industry. Plymouth, CA...To support that economy and enhance the safety of those who travel on SR-49, Caltrans is partnering with Plymouth and the Amador County Transportation Commission to convert an intersection with four stop signs into a user-friendly roundabout. The project broke ground Friday, July 14, at the site where SR-49 connects with Shenandoah Road and Main Street. The SR-49 Plymouth Roundabout is expected to have a total project cost of $6 million and be finished in the spring of 2018. George Reed Construction of Modesto is performing the work. Rather than all four vehicles being forced to come to a complete stop, idling their engines and contributing to noise and air pollution, motorists will glide through the roundabout with minimal delay. It will also benefit farm equipment turning east onto Shenandoah Road, and commercial trucks turning west onto Main Street or passing through on the way to Jackson or Placerville.
