FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Drainage Rehabilitation Project Continuing
On State Route 299 in Shasta County
REDDING – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans District 2), in conjunction with Roll ‘N Rock Construction, Inc., will be continuing work on a drainage rehabilitation project on State Route 299. The $169k project, which is funded in part by Senate Bill 1, is repairing or replacing two culverts at the following locations:
· On Lake Boulevard (SR 299) in Redding between Erickson Way and Black Marble Way/North Boulder Drive.
· On State Route 299 between Redding and Bella Vista, near Livona Lane.
Overnight work will be conducted this week at the culvert location between Erickson Way and Black Marble Way/North Boulder Drive, near Waterworks Park. Starting tonight, motorists will encounter one-way traffic control with up to 6-minute delays between 7 p.m. – 6 a.m. nightly.
Following this work, Caltrans and contractor will continue work at the drainage location near Livona Lane, with one-way traffic control and up to 6-minute delays, Sunday nights – Friday mornings. 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 July.
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 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 [email protected]. Updated highway conditions for California can be found on QuickMap and on One-Stop-Shop for the Western U.S.
SB 1 provides $5 billion in transportation funding annually split between the state and local agencies. Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of SB 1 funds, including projects that are partially funded by SB 1.

Through Senate Bill 1, Caltrans has committed to repair or replace 17,000 miles of pavement, 7,700 traffic signals, signs, and sensors, 55,000 culverts and drains, and 500 bridges by 2027.
