A two-week Sierra Highway lane closure is planned due to construction in Canyon Country, officials said Wednesday.

UPDATE: Originally scheduled to begin May 4, construction is now slated to start on Monday, May 11, and last for approximately two weeks.

Starting Monday, May 11, developer Pardee Homes is set to begin a project to install a sanitary sewer pipe under southbound Sierra Highway, from Sarabande Lane to Soledad Canyon Road, with phase one of the project at the intersection of Sierra Highway and Soledad Canyon Road continuing for approximately two weeks, according to the City of Santa Clarita.

Beginning May 11, vehicles traveling through the intersection are expected to experience the closure of the southbound Sierra Highway right-turn lane onto Soledad Canyon Road and the closure of the far right lane on westbound Soledad Canyon Road beginning east of the intersection.

These lanes are set to be closed continuously until construction is completed, according to the City.

Commuters are asked to be aware of scheduled lane closures and to plan their routes accordingly. Electronic message boards are expected to be posted to inform motorists of upcoming lane closures.

Residents are asked to reduce their speed through the construction zone for the safety of the public and the contractor’s employees, according to officials.

“The City of Santa Clarita thanks community members in advance for their understanding and support of this project,” officials said in a statement. “All measures will be taken to complete the project in a safe and timely manner. ­­”
