BUTTE COUNTY – Caltrans is alerting motorists about a scheduled upcoming full closure on State Route 70 near the Shady Rest Area as part of the ongoing Cresta Bridge and Roadway Rehabilitation Project. The closure is scheduled for September 10 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
During this time, crews will be using two cranes to set and place the precast girders for the new bridge deck at Bear Creek, part of the $58.8 million project to restore and elevate the roadway. The Cresta project will elevate the roadway by 5 feet and fortify the embankment to prevent future flooding. This project, which began in February 2023, is expected to be completed by summer 2025.
There will be no detours available during the three-hour closure. Motorists should expect delays and are encouraged to plan their travel accordingly.
