Motorists planning to travel through Yolo County near the City of Winters will need to seek alternate routes next week, as the Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, in coordination with the Yolo County Public Works Division, will close County Road 89 for essential infrastructure maintenance. The closure will affect the stretch between County Road 29 and County Road 29A, beginning tomorrow and continuing through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., weather permitting.
The temporary road closure is due to the replacement of a worn-out culvert pipeline located approximately four miles north of Winters. The maintenance work is intended to support irrigation service and manage storm drainage in the area. The District’s contractor will carry out the construction within the scheduled timeframe, while Public Works Road Maintenance staff will oversee traffic control to manage vehicle flow during the closure.
Yolo County's official website recommends that travelers should expect delays due to the closure, and detours will be clearly marked, ensuring everyone can navigate around the closed patch of roadway with minimum confusion. Local access for properties and businesses within the closure zone will be maintained throughout the construction period, a minor solace for those whose doorstep the commotion of reconstruction will echo.
Community residents and regional travelers are encouraged to consult the county's online platform for the most up-to-date information on road closures. This update is part of ongoing efforts to maintain transportation infrastructure and ensure public safety during necessary maintenance periods.
