Scheduled to commence construction in 2025, this Caltrans improvement project plans to upgrade St. Charles / Hwy. 49 from Mountain Ranch Rd. to Gold Oak Rd. Project goals include slowing traffic through San Andreas, correcting the crown in the roadway, improving sidewalks for pedestrians, increasing crosswalk safety, adding landscaping for beautification and shade, and adding bike lanes. Caltrans has assured SAM that all businesses will be able to operate and have access during construction and every effort will be made to ease the traffic and parking burdens for merchants and their customers.  We look forward to this new face lift for San Andreas as we continue our efforts to revitalize the downtown area of this great community. SAM is in regular communication with Caltrans project directors, please contact us if you have questions or concerns.

St. Charles Hospitality has submitted a project proposal to construct a new Fairfield by Marriott hotel in San Andreas.  While this new 80 room hotel project, that includes a restaurant on the first floor, has prompted some concerns from residents about traffic and design aesthetic, the positive impact that a new large scale business like this would have on local employment opportunities, commerce, and revenue for surrounding merchants in San Andreas is hard to ignore.  St. Charles Hospitality has voiced their support for the efforts of the San Andreas Merchants Association and the revitalization of San Andreas and its historic district.  It is our hope that this new commercial project continues to energize the business district in San Andreas and brings opportunity and benefits for local residents and business owners alike.
