REDDING – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans District 2) and Abacus Construction, Inc. are preparing to begin work on a slip-out project in State Route 96 in Siskiyou County. The $2 million project will repair a section of roadway that was recently damaged by a slip-out caused by over saturation near Happy Camp, approximately 4.3 miles east of Gordon Ferrys Road. The project will place rock slope protection at the damaged riverside slope, install underdrains and outlets, repave, and restripe.
Construction activities are currently planned to start on September 3rd. Once work begins, motorists should plan for one-way traffic control in the project area with up to 10-minute delays, Mondays – Fridays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Travelers 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 October.
