The Sacramento County Department of Transportation is moving forward with construction of the Folsom Blvd. Sidewalk Infill Project on the north side of Folsom Boulevard between Mira Del Rio Drive and Butterfield Way.

Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2020 with completion anticipated in October 2020. Some preliminary work may occur prior to the start of construction including tree removal, temporary fencing for tree protection, and construction area signing. Access will be maintained to all residences and businesses during construction. Pedestrian and bicycle access will also be maintained.

The project includes:

  • Construction of curb/gutter and sidewalks.
  • Installation of drainage improvements.
  • Driveway reconstruction in areas of new sidewalk construction.
  • Installation of Street Lights
