Warming weather means road work. Caltrans has announced ongoing road maintenance activities north of Susanville, including striping work on State Route 139.
The crews are expected to continue their operations today and tomorrow, utilizing a moving closure approach to minimize traffic disruptions. According to officials, delays are minimal as the striping vehicles pull over to allow traffic to pass when necessary. Additionally, earlier this week, the paint crew was spotted striping on US 395 north of Susanville.
Looking ahead, drivers traveling on US 395 near Litchfield should anticipate up to 5-minute delays on Friday, as the paint crew plans to undertake work near a local school. One-way traffic control measures will be in place to ensure the safety of both workers and commuters.
In another maintenance effort, crews were seen working on crack seal operations along US 395 near Herlong today. While the exact timeline for completion was not provided, officials indicated that the operations were nearing completion or may have already concluded.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution and adhere to posted signage while traveling through these areas undergoing maintenance work.
