Caltrans District 2

🚧 HEADS UP, LASSEN COUNTY TRAVELERS 🚧

Work on the Devil's Corral Safety Project on State Route 36 is scheduled to restart Wednesday, June 10.

Motorists should plan for one-way traffic control in the project area, from approximately 6.5 miles east of the Goodrich Creek Bridge to the Willard Creek Road access, with delays of up to 15 minutes:
🕖 Monday–Thursday: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
🕖 Friday: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Please note that delays of up to 25 minutes may occur when construction operations require travel over unpaved surfaces.

This $16.7 million project is improving safety by widening shoulders, upgrading culverts, relocating utilities, adding rumble strips, and removing vegetation to improve solar exposure along the highway.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of September.

Please slow down, watch for crews and equipment, and plan extra travel time through the area.

🟧 Orange cone season is here! 🟧

As temperatures rise and construction season gets underway, you'll be seeing more Caltrans maintenance and construction crews working on highways throughout District 2.

These photos show our Redding East, Redding North, and Red Bluff Maintenance Crews performing paving operations on State Route 151 in the City of Shasta Lake, helping create a smoother ride for the traveling public. This is just one of many projects taking place across District 2 as crews take advantage of the warmer weather to improve our transportation system.

When you see cones, signs, and workers ahead, please slow down, stay alert, and give crews plenty of room to work safely. Every project helps keep our roads safer, smoother, and more reliable for everyone who travels them.

🚧 Slow for the Cone Zone. 🚧

🚧 TRAFFIC ALERT: State Route 299 at Buckhorn Summit 🚧

Starting Wednesday, June 10, Caltrans will implement 24/7 one-way traffic control on State Route 299 near Buckhorn Summit as crews continue emergency slide repair work.

The eastbound lane will be closed in the slide area for approximately three weeks while crews complete preventative roadway repairs following minor cracking observed after the earlier slide event. Engineers and geologists have evaluated the area and confirmed the roadway remains safe for travel.

⏳ Motorists should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes through the construction zone.

📍 The work area is located just east of Buckhorn Summit near the Shasta-Trinity County line.

This preventative work is being completed now to address the cracking before it develops into a larger issue and help ensure the long-term stability of the roadway.

Please slow down, stay alert, and watch for workers and equipment in the construction zone. Thank you for your patience as we continue improving safety along this important corridor.

Today, we honor the memory of Carl Taylor, Caltrans District 2 Landscape Maintenance Worker II. On June 4, 1976, Mr. Taylor was working on I-5 near the Tehama-Glenn County line when he was struck by an errant driver and killed.

🚧 Construction Zone Safety Reminder 🚧 If you see this sign, you're in a construction zone. Wait for the pilot car—it's the law. Passing without following the pilot car isn't just illegal, it's putting lives at risk. Construction workers, flaggers, and other motorists depend on drivers following these safety protocols. Your patience protects lives. Follow the pilot car, obey all posted signs, and slow down in work zones.

Thank you for your patience as we continue working on the McCloud CAPM Project along State Route 89.

We've heard some questions about the project and wanted to clarify that this work is not adding any additional lanes to State Route 89. This project is focused on improving the existing roadway through re-paving, drainage improvements, accessibility upgrades, and other maintenance work designed to extend the life of the roadway and improve safety and reliability for travelers.

Please remember to slow down in the work zone, follow all signs and directions from traffic control personnel, and be alert for construction crews and equipment.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to improve State Route 89 for the McCloud community and everyone who travels through the area.
