Culvert rehabilitation project begins on Highway 147

The California Department of Transportation and the Lamassu Utility Group, Inc. are preparing to begin work on the Westwood Beach Culverts Project on Highway 147 in Plumas County.

The $583k project will provide culvert rehabilitation at eight locations near Canyon Dam, from 0.3 mile south of Indian Hills Road to 0.7 mile north of County Road A-13.

Lining operations are planned for the evening of Sep. 19, and sampling work is planned for Monday, Tuesday and Friday of next week.

Motorists will encounter one-way traffic control with up to 15-minute delays between 6:30 p.m. and 12 a.m. for lining and 30-minute delays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. for sampling activities.

There will then be a pause until early-mid October when remaining excavation operations will take place, with one to two weeks of one-way traffic control, Mondays-Fridays with up to 15-minute delays between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 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 the end of October.

Construction projects are subject to changes without prior notice. Caltrans and its contractors do our best to keep the public informed.
