The City of Santa Clarita continues to work on your behalf to make your travels easier. Currently, they are working on Phase Two of the 11 phases for these improvements. The anticipated completion of this phase is fall 2007.
This phase includes constructing portions of freeway on-ramps and off-ramps, the majority of the drainage box and retaining walls. During this phase, existing ramps and local roadways, including Magic Mountain Parkway and the Old Road, will be open for vehicular traffic. The construction of the storm drain box is over 80 percent complete. The general contractor, Security Paving Construction, is continuing the constructing of the box culvert, which crosses underneath Magic Mountain Parkway west of the Old Road. Please allow extra time when traveling through the area during peak park hours. It is anticipated that construction of the box culvert will last another six to eight weeks.
AT&T has secured an encroachment permit from Caltrans to begin the relocation and installation of new conduit lines. AT&T’s contractor, VCI, began the installation of the new conduit line in early July. The work should continue for approximately two months. The limit of AT&T’s work is westbound Magic Mountain Parkway between the southbound I-5 off-ramp and Tourney Road.
Remember to slow for the cone zone.
