Merced’s Yosemite Avenue Reconstruction Project Remains a City Infrastructure Priority

MERCED — November 2, 2026. Merced’s public engagement platform is tracking Yosemite Avenue Roadway Reconstruction as one of the city’s major local transportation improvement projects.

Road work in stages

The city’s project hub describes construction activities and public updates, including work with temporary installations and roadway improvements. A construction notice may be superseded by more recent stages; it is not a live lane-closure report.

Impacts on daily travel

Roadway rehabilitation can affect turning movements, curb access, transit trips and deliveries. Residents and businesses should follow posted traffic control rather than assume an earlier closure remains in force.

How to get the current schedule

Merced’s online project page contains updates and engagement material, while city engineers and public works staff handle specific concerns. Ask for the affected road segment and current construction phase before planning a delivery or major event.
