VP2 Road Rehabilitation Project in Tehama County will have weekend work on Aug. 14 through Aug. 17

Caltrans will conduct weekend work on the VP2 Road Rehabilitation project, which will completely restore the roadway with paving and widening, and improve ride quality on Highway 99 in Tehama County.

Work includes paving driveway and road connections, improving pedestrian facilities and drainage in southern Los Molinos and installing lighting. The project also includes installing and replacing guardrail, installing rail element wall at several fill locations, and census loops and piezos, and upgrading CCTV elements.

The road rehabilitation project will span from southern Los Molinos to the Tehama/Butte County line on Highway 99.

Tentatively starting Friday (Aug. 14) at 5 p.m., there will be 24-hour traffic control in Los Molinos on Highway 99 until Monday (Aug. 17) at 7 a.m.

Expected delays are anticipated to not exceed 25 minutes during reconstruction of the roadway. The traffic control will begin at Orange St and extend south to Sherwood Blvd. Following the weekend traffic control, construction operations will revert back to normal weekday construction operations within the project limits.

The $49.1 million project includes 115 working days, with all days requiring traffic control. Night work will be used to alleviate traffic delays when feasible and safe. The entire project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2026.

DeSilva Gates Construction LLC, North Region Construction and Caltrans District 2 thank the traveling public and local communities for their patience during the construction of the project.
