Caltrans announces Highway 395 paving project

Caltrans announced today that its crews will start work tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 10, to repave a stretch of Highway 395 near Davis Creek in Modoc County, from just south of Joseph Creek Road to approximately 1.7 miles south of Davis Creek Road.

The $1.9 million project — which is fully funded by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 — will provide a smoother ride for motorists and freight carriers in Northeastern California.

“U.S. 395 serves as the primary transportation artery linking California and Oregon for many communities located in the northeast portion of the state,” said Caltrans District Director Dave Moore. “This vital thoroughfare is also a lifeline between businesses and several communities in the region and due to pavement deterioration caused by consecutive winters of unprecedented rain and snow — we plan to accomplish this essential road work by mid-October.”

Once work begins, motorists should plan for one-way traffic control with up to 10-minute delays, Monday – Friday between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily. Striping, guardrail, and shoulder work will also be included in the project.

Motorists are reminded that the law requires them to slow down, obey temporary speed limit reductions and drive carefully in and around construction areas. Hat Creek Construction and Materials, Inc. is the lead contractor on the project.

Construction projects are subject to changes without prior notice.
