Placer County – Caltrans is alerting State Route 174 (SR-174) motorists to expect one-way traffic control operations next week for continued tree removal work in Placer County.

Hazard tree removal work is scheduled Monday, October 3 through Friday, October 7 between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Motorists should anticipate travel delays and one-way traffic control from the Placer-Nevada County line at the Bear River Bridge to Rollins Lake Road.
