This Week's Angels Camp Bypass Update~By John Hamilton
Angels Camp, CA...This morning we stopped by Angels Camp Bypass Construction along Rolleri Bypass. We were able to catch one of the construction foreman from Teichert Construction. The current economic climate has been an advantage for this project so far. Teichert was able to bring there ace crew for this project. The crew even has a distinctly local flavor with one person on the crew from Angels Camp and more from Valley Springs. The rest are from the Stockton Area. They have been making incredible progress. The road grading for the section from Rolleri Bypass to Hwy 4 is already roughed in. They are now attacking the hill between Rolleri and Angels Camp...
They have another 30ft or so of cut to bring it to the proper level. It was even mentioned that if everything works according to plan they may even be able to start paving this year.
The recovery of Native American artifacts should not affect the speed of the construction process. As of yet there has not been any discovery of anything that would cause any delays.
The Rolleri Bypass Road will be officially closed after the Calaveras County Fair.
It was impressive to watch the choreographed actions of the crew and their machines.
