BUTTE COUNTY — Caltrans is alerting motorists that traffic on State Route 70 (SR 70) at Jarbo Gap will fully reopen in both directions by Friday afternoon, December 12, as construction crews prepare to place the project into a planned temporary winter suspension.
During the 2025 construction season, crews advanced major structure work on the project, including drainage inlet construction, bridge deck concrete polymer placement, and temporary striping activities.
With winter conditions approaching and a key railing system arriving later than anticipated, Caltrans will suspend on-site work until spring 2026. This planned pause improves safety for workers and the traveling public during the winter months while allowing two-way traffic to resume.
The project team completed preparation work this week to safely restore traffic flow in both directions during the suspension period. Motorists should continue to use caution when traveling through the area and watch for roadside crews as they finalize striping and cleanup activities.
