The schedule is subject to change at any time pending future operations and activity, weather, and with the safety of the traveling public and locals always at the forefront. Motorists are advised to continue to use alternate routes if possible and to check for restrictions on alternate routes if traveling in big rigs or other larger vehicles. Due to this continued emergency work and other planned projects, motorists should plan for lengthy delays along the State Route 70 corridor.

Caltrans District 2 and prime Contractor J.F. Shea Co. Inc. will continue operations on State Route 70 following multiple areas of debris flows and slides stemming from strong thunderstorm activity on June 12 in Dixie Fire burn scar areas. Work includes debris removal, channel reconstruction at Opapee and Murphy creek outlets, roadway reconstruction, rock slope protection and buttress operations, and drainage and guardrail repairs.

As always, 24/7 highway conditions and information are available in California via QuickMap or via One-Stop-Shop for western states.
