Caltrans gears up for Highway 395 paving project in Lassen County

Cal Trans announced today it will begin work on July 17 on a paving project on Highway 395 in Lassen County. The $2.8 million project is fully funded by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

“This project will provide much needed pavement rehabilitation on portions of (Highway) 395, which serves as one of three major north/south highway routes between northern California and Oregon,” said Dave Moore, Caltrans District 2 Director. “Full funding from Senate Bill 1 allows these pavement repairs to be made more quickly and provide new pavement in the area for years to come.”

Crews will be repaving (Highway) 395 approximately 16 miles south of Ravendale, from just north of Karlo Road to 1.5 miles south of Ramhorn Road. Once work begins, motorists should plan for one-way traffic control with up to 15-minute delays, Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Shoulder, striping and guardrail work will also be included on the project. The Secret Valley Safety Roadside Rest Area will also have intermittent short-term periods of limited access during 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. The project is anticipated to be completed by the end of August. Hat Creek Construction & Materials, Inc. is the lead contractor on the project.
