Caltrans will conduct overnight paving work on the VP2 Road Rehabilitation project, which will completely restore the roadway with paving and widening, and improve ride quality on State Route (SR) 99 in Tehama County. Work includes paving driveway and road connections, improving pedestrian facilities and drainage in southern Los Molinos and installing lighting. The project also includes installing and replacing guardrail, installing rail element wall at several fill locations, and census loops and piezos, and upgrading CCTV elements.
The road rehabilitation project will span from southern Los Molinos to the Tehama/Butte County line on SR 99.
On Monday (October 5th) and Tuesday (October 6th) there will be overnight paving operations from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. for the VP2 Road Rehabilitation project. Expected delays are anticipated to not exceed 25 minutes during paving of the roadway. The traffic control will begin 500 feet north of Tehama Vina Rd at the north end of town and between Palm St and Sherwood Blvd at the south end of town. All side streets will be closed. Following the overnight paving, construction operations will revert back to normal weeknight construction operations within the project limits.
The $49.1 million project includes 115 working days, with all days requiring traffic control. Night work will be used to alleviate traffic delays when feasible and safe. The entire project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2026.
DeSilva Gates Construction LLC, North Region Construction and Caltrans District 2 thank the traveling public and local communities for their patience during the construction of the project.
