MULTIPLE ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ARE CONTINUING IN THE COMING MONTHS IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY. DEMOLITION FOR THE LA FONDA BRIDGE IN SANTA CRUZ HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST, SO THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION IS URGING PEOPLE TO AVOID THE BRIDGE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. HIGHWAY ONE WILL BE CLOSED OFF IN BOTH DIRECTIONS FOR TWO NIGHTS DURING THE REMOVAL BETWEEN 10 PM AND 5AM, WITH AN ALTERNATE ROUTE SET FOR SOQUEL AND MORRISSEY. OTHER PROJECTS SCHEDULED IN THE COMING WEEKS INCLUDE THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE PATH BETWEEN PARK AVENUE AND LA FONDA, AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE SIDEWALK ON ROONEY STREET BETWEEN PACHECO AVENUE AND ELK STREET. THE R.T.C. WOULD LIKE TO REMIND DRIVERS THAT SPEEDS ARE REDUCED IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES, AND THAT TRAFFIC FINES ARE DOUBLED IN THESE AREAS.
