Culvert lining begins on Highway 299

The California Department of Transportation and Lamassu Utility Services, Inc. are preparing to begin work on the Sugar Pine Culverts Project on Highway 299 in Shasta County. The $350k project will provide new linings to three existing culverts near Ingot, from just east of Seamans Gulch Road to approximately 0.5 mile east of Seamans Gulch Road.

Construction activities are currently planned to start on Monday, Sept. 23. Motorists will encounter one-way traffic control with up to 5-minute delays, Mondays through Fridays between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily. 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 project is currently anticipated to be completed by mid-October.

Construction projects are subject to changes without prior notice. Caltrans and its contractors do our best to keep the public informed. To stay up to date on highway projects, please follow us on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). Project information can also be found on the District 2 webpage. The public can also call (530) 225-3426 during working hours or send an email to D2PIO@dot.ca.gov. Updated highway conditions for California can be found on QuickMap and on One-Stop-Shop for the Western U.S. For more information about transportation and other infrastructure projects funded with state and federal investments, visit RebuildingCA.ca.gov and Build.gov.ca.
