REDDING – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans District 2) and Tullis, Inc. are continuing pavement repairs and addressing several slides on westbound shoulders on State Route 36, east of Fredonyer Summit in Lassen County, due to seismic activity. Pavement conditions are unsuitable for low clearance vehicles and extreme caution in this area is advised. The project is grinding and smoothing pavement over various fault lines and conducting geological and survey investigations to best determine a more comprehensive, long-term fix for the area.
Motorists should plan for 24/7 one-way traffic control with up to 25-minute delays in the area. Stop signs and signals will be added with motorists required to stop and then travel slowly through the area. While under pilot car control, speeds allowed are reduced to no more than 15 MPH maximum speed in areas where pavement is removed. 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. This area is subject to change at any time due to inclement weather or continued slide activity.
