Beckwourth CAPM Project on State Route 70

The Project:

The Beckwourth CAPM (Capital Preventative Maintenance) project in Plumas County is on State Route (SR) 70, near Portola from 0.4 mile west of Big Grizzly Creek Bridge to 0.8 mile west of Summit School Drive. 

Project Benefits:

This project will reduce distressed lane miles, future maintenance and capital costs, and worker exposure. It will improve ride quality, extend pavement life, improve safety and reliability for all modes of traffic and goods movement. The project will also bring culverts, bridge, TMS, and pavement to a good condition.

In addition, TMS elements will be replaced at three locations, along with signage.

Current Project Schedule:

It is estimated this project will take 120 workings days, with all requiring traffic control. Construction is scheduled to begin in summer of 2024.
