Mokelumne Hill: Highway 26 Closed at Main Street Through November 9, Caltrans Road Report Says

MOKELUMNE HILL, Calaveras County — October 26, 2026. Travelers through the historic Gold Rush town should check their route before entering State Route 26. Caltrans’ official highway conditions report, checked on October 26, lists SR-26 closed 24 hours a day from Main Street to its junction with State Route 49 in Mokelumne Hill for construction, with the announced restriction continuing through 7 a.m. November 9.

Caltrans advises motorists to use an alternate route. This is a continuous closure of a specific part of SR-26, not a statement that every street in Mokelumne Hill is inaccessible. Local access and signed routes may vary according to where drivers need to go.

Distinguish an overnight flagging operation from the longer closure

The road conditions bulletin separately reported one-way control from the SR-49 junction to Church Street during the overnight window ending 6 a.m. October 26. That past flagging notice should not be confused with the longer Main Street closure. Readers should rely on the live state update for any later changes.
