FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Paving Project Upcoming on State Route 299
Near Round Mountain and McArthur
REDDING – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans District 2) and American Pavement Systems, Inc. are preparing to begin work on the McArthur Mixed Strategy Project on State Route 299 in Shasta County. The $2.5 million project will place an asphalt rubber chip seal at the following locations:
· State Route 299 (Shasta County) from approximately 2 miles west of Buzzard Roost Road (west of Round Mountain) to Old Bertagna Place (near Montgomery Creek).
· State Route 299 (Shasta County) from just east of Sierra Center Drive (Fall River Mills) to the Shasta/Lassen County Line.
In addition, a thin hot mix asphalt overlay will be placed in McArthur along with cold planing the roadway to match existing surfaces.
Construction activities are currently planned to start on July 6th. Motorists will encounter one-way traffic control with up to 20-minute delays, Monday through Friday during daytime hours. 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-August.
Construction projects are subject to changes without prior notice. Caltrans and its contractors do our best to keep the public informed.
