C Street Enhancements Project
A Welcoming Gateway in the Heart of Galt
In 2024 construction began on the long-awaited C Street Enhancements Project. This effort is the product of years of planning and community engagement and will transform C Street into a gateway entrance welcoming residents and visitors alike to the City of Galt.
Construction is taking place along C Street, starting at Civic Drive near the 99 off-ramp and ending at 6th Street.
Beginning in mid-August 2024, traffic on C Street will be reduced to one lane. One lane of westbound traffic on C Street will always remain open, and eastbound traffic will be diverted to detour routes. Please see construction maps below for details.

Construction Details
During the first phase of the project, work began on the north side of C Street, with westbound traffic diverted to the eastbound lanes. Eastbound traffic will be diverted to A Street. The first phase of work is anticipated to be complete in fall 2024.
The second phase of work will begin fall 2024 on the south side of C Street. Westbound traffic will remain open in the westbound lane, and the eastbound lane will be closed with traffic diverted to A Street. Major construction during this phase is anticipated to be complete in December 2024, with additional finish work not requiring full lane closures anticipated through early 2025.
Throughout construction, north and south bound traffic will be able to travel through S. Lincoln Way intersection, but please note the stop light will be flashing red and may cause delays.
Access to the Galt Plaza shopping center will be available via Civic Drive to the south, and from the A Street entrance next to Save Mart from the north.
Access to businesses and properties within the work zone will be maintained at all times. If there is work planned that will directly impact your property or driveway, the project team will notify you in advance.
