Caltrans District 3 Launches Pavement Project on I-5 in Siskiyou County

Caltrans District 3 has recently announced the initiation of a significant pavement rehabilitation project on Interstate 5 in Siskiyou County, marking a crucial step towards enhancing road safety and infrastructure in the region. The project, which began on April 15, is scheduled to continue until the end of October, focusing on a 10-mile stretch between the Montague and Yreka exits.

This initiative is part of a broader effort by Caltrans to maintain and improve the state's highway system, ensuring safer and more reliable travel for motorists. The rehabilitation work includes grinding the existing pavement and overlaying it with new asphalt to extend the lifespan of the road and improve its condition.

During the construction period, motorists can expect delays due to one-way traffic control. Caltrans advises drivers to plan for additional travel time and to adhere to all traffic control measures in place to ensure safety for both workers and drivers. The agency also emphasizes the importance of reducing speed and staying alert in work zones.

The project not only aims to enhance the driving experience but also contributes to the economic vitality of the area by maintaining critical transportation routes. Local businesses and residents in Siskiyou County will benefit from improved road conditions, which can attract more visitors and facilitate smoother commerce.

Caltrans District 3 remains committed to keeping the public informed about the progress of the project and any changes to traffic patterns. Updates and further information can be found on the Caltrans website or by contacting the district office directly.
