Beginning Monday, July 12, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) will conduct important gas pipeline vegetation work on California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) property near Blue Ravine Road.

 

This work is being conducted as part of PG&E’s Gas Transmission Vegetation Management program, which is focused on keeping the area above and around the gas transmission pipeline clear of items that can block access for safety crews in an emergency or for critical maintenance work. During routine inspections, PG&E identified 50 trees on CDFW property within the City of Folsom that are located too close to the pipeline and pose a safety concern.

 

Vegetation removal work will take place between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and should take approximately four days to complete. The outermost westbound lane and the sidewalk along Blue Ravine Road will be closed during work hours. Traffic control measures will be in place and there will be a detour for pedestrians. The bike path will remain open, and the Humbug Willow Creek Trail will not be impacted.
