Press release from Caltrans District 2:

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans District 2) and Tullis, Inc. are preparing to begin work on the Scott Mountain Overlay Project on State Route 3 in Siskiyou County. The $2.65 million project will replace asphalt concrete via dig outs and place a thin hot mix asphalt overlay on SR 3 near Callahan, from approximately 0.4 mile north of the Trinity/Siskiyou County Line to approximately 0.2 mile north of Gazelle-Callahan Road. The project will also provide shoulder backing and remove and replace thermoplastic pavement markings.

Dig out activities are currently planned to start on Monday, September 11^th. Following dig out operations, a multi-week break is anticipated prior to paving operations starting. When work is underway, motorists should plan for up to 15-minute delays, Mondays – Fridays 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.
