ELK GROVE, CA (MPG) - The City of Elk Grove notified residents on June 13 via social media of an upcoming road closure associated with the Harvest Water Project, a regional infrastructure initiative led by Sacramento County.

As of June 16, the intersection of Franklin Boulevard and Willard Parkway will remain closed through late June to accommodate ongoing construction. The city encourages residents to follow posted detours and allow extra travel time. Updated detour routes are outlined below:

Southbound Franklin Boulevard to Willard Parkway travelers should detour using Blossom Ridge Drive to Willard Parkway.

Southbound Franklin Boulevard traffic continuing down Franklin Boulevard should detour Blossom Ridge Drive to Williard Parkway to Bilby Road.

Northbound Franklin Boulevard south of Whitelock/Willard Parkway should detour using Bilby Road to Willard Parkway.

According to the Sacramento Area Sewer District, the Harvest Water project will deliver drought-resistant recycled water to agricultural lands and existing habitats in southern Sacramento County. The project is anticipated to be operational in 2027.
