Angels Camp, CA

Calaveras County Council of Goverments Director, Timothy J. McSorley has announced that the construction phase for the New Angels Camp Bypass will begin on April 14, 2008. All right of way issues have been resolved and should be wrapped up soon. The first phase will be construction of the bridges. Once the bridges have been completed then the focus of construction will shift to the roadways.

This project has taken almost 30 years to get to this point. Once it is completed it should have numerous benefits to the area. It will speed the flow of traffic up and down to Murphys & the High Country and it will also allow for enhancements to downtown Angels Camp. With the reduced through traffic the historic area of Angels Camp can focus on becoming a shopping and tourist mecca. The City has already held several meetings and hired an outside consulting company to guide them on the best steps they can take make the area even more alluring.
