DPW - Working For You:
Work is underway on the South Santa Fe Road Improvement Project and on the widening of Jamacha Blvd. You can get regular construction updates, traffic advisories, and environmental and safety news for both projects on the respective project page.
Check out which County roads may be impacted from construction, repair, or movement of heavy equipment on our Road Closure page.
During severe weather, notices of road closures, snow plowing operations and other safety advisories are posted on the DPW Emergency Page and on Twitter.com/sdcountydpw.
The Roads Section of DPW is responsible for maintaining nearly 2,000 miles of roads in the County-maintained system which serve some 400,000 residents of the unincorporated County each day. The Department of Public Works maintains roads in unincorporated areas of the County only. If you live in one of the 18 incorporated cities, visit their websites.
