New road construction causes community uproar in small Calaveras County town ...Middle East

News by : (CBS sacramento) -

"I know we've lost some business, they've lost some business," Murphys Station Assistant Manager Joyce Turpin explained. "It's just relatively, I think it's more damaging than it's doing good."

She says right when the cement median was installed along Highway 4 last month, it caused more harm than good.

Businesses across the street say they've also seen less foot traffic.

"Can't pull into any of the stores for the business, for this store, for the grocery store, for getting their deliveries, you just can't get trucks in," Local Richard Justice shared. "You got to turn all the way around and come and get gas coming down this way."

CBS Sacramento brought its concerns to Caltrans.

Caltrans says they conducted a safety investigation in this span of the highway between May 2019 to March 2022 after receiving a request.

But after all this backlash, they're reconsidering the design.

In terms of what the community wants to see happen, they have a few ideas.

"Possibly the two left lanes, or just take it out," Turpin said. "I mean, yes, granted, it's waste of money, but you should have cleared it with all the business owners and you know, the community first."
