FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UPDATE: SB 1 Paving Project Upcoming
on U.S. 395 in Lassen County
REDDING – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans District 2) and Hat Creek Construction & Materials, Inc. are preparing to begin work on the Bass Mountain Mill & Fill Project on U.S. 395 in Lassen County. The $1.8 million project, which is funded in part by Senate Bill (SB) 1, will cold plane the existing asphalt concrete surfacing and replace with a thin hot mix asphalt between Susanville and Janesville, from just north of Sunnyside Road to just north of the junction with State Route 36. The project will also include the replacement of signal loops at the U.S. 395/State Route 36 intersection and striping.
Construction activities are currently planned to start on July 11th. Between July 11th and July 22nd, motorists should plan primarily for nighttime operations, 7 p.m. – 7 a.m. Sunday evenings through Friday mornings. Following that, motorists will encounter one-way traffic control Mondays through Fridays during daytime hours. 17-minute traffic delays are anticipated throughout the project.
**Please note: Access between Richmond Road and the State Route 36/U.S. 395 intersection is currently planned to be closed from July 17th at 7 p.m. until July 19th at 7 a.m. Please follow detour signs in place during these operations and allot extra time for travel in the area.
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 August.
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. For more information about other transportation projects funded by SB 1, visit www.rebuildingca.ca.gov.
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.
