SR 3 Road Resurfacing Set to Begin August 8th, Expect Delays

Press release from Caltrans District 2:

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans District 2) and Tullis, Inc. are preparing to begin work on the B Bar K Overlay Project on State Route 3 in Trinity County. The $1.1 million project will replace asphalt concrete surfacing (via dig outs) and place a thin hot mix asphalt overlay on SR 3 near Douglas City, from the Browns Creek Bridge to the Reading Creek Bridge. Also included in the project are shoulder backing operations, striping, and cold planing of asphalt concrete surface to match the existing roadway features.

Construction activities are currently planned to start on August 8^th. Motorists will encounter one-way traffic control with up to 15-minute delays, Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Motorists are urged to slow down and drive carefully in and around construction areas, follow speed limit reductions in place, and allot extra time for delays. The project is currently anticipated to be completed by the end of September.

Construction projects are subject to changes without prior notice. Caltrans and its contractors do our best to keep the public informed. To stay up to date on highway projects, please follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Project information can also be found on the District 2 webpage. The public can also call (530) 225-3426 during working hours or send an email to [email protected]. Updated highway conditions for California can be found on QuickMap and on One-Stop-Shop for the Western U.S.
