REDDING – Caltrans District 2 and Mitchell Johnson Construction, Inc. will be starting work to fix areas of erosion damage on State Route 70 in Lassen County, from near the Plumas/Lassen County line to approximately 2.5 miles east (west of Hallelujah Junction). Work will include rock slope protection, slope and weed barrier reconstruction, metal beam guardrail repair, and paving.
Construction activities are currently planned to start on August 15. Motorists will encounter 24/7 one-way traffic control with up to 30-minute delays. Motorists are urged to slow down and drive carefully in and around construction areas, follow speed limit reductions in place, and allot extra time for delays. The work is currently anticipated to be completed by the end of September.
