The Project:

The Shingle Station Paving and Drainage project in Shasta County is on State Route (SR) 44 at various locations, from 0.3 mile east of Shingletown Ridge Road to Lassen County Line.

Project Benefits:

The purpose of the project is to restore the pavement to a state of good repair that will require minimal maintenance, rehabilitate deficient culvert systems to restore the integrity of the traveled way, and replace outdated Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) elements in order to continue providing road condition information to the traveling public.
