All Aptos village businesses are open during construction operations. Some may have modified operations and/or hours in accordance with current health orders.

TRAFFIC CONTROL

Anderson Pacific strives to keep two lanes of traffic open on Soquel Drive to the greatest extent possible. At times, lane closures with flaggers will be necessary. This will be the case during the grinding and paving operations. Delay times could be up to twenty minutes. For the safety of all, please use caution when moving through the construction zone, obey all signage, and please share the road. 

GENERAL

The Aptos Times published a great Q & A article about this project in their July 15, 2020 edition.  Please see link to the article on the right.

The public’s patience is appreciated during the construction process and we look forward to project completion in March 2021.  The completion date is subject to change due to weather or other conditions.
