PARADISE, CA (MPG) - Caltrans is informing motorist of the update on the ongoing pavement rehabilitation project in Paradise on State Route 191 (SR 191). The project is entering its final stages and the recent schedule adjustments are stated below.

Crews are currently grinding the surface in preparation for the final layer of pavement and striping. While it may appear that the new pavement is being removed, this is a necessary step to ensure a smooth and durable roadway.

Grinding operations were completed on Oct. 4.

Upcoming Schedule

Traffic Control: Having begun Monday, Oct. 7, traffic control with a pilot car will be in effect from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The signal will be relocated to Meadow Song Road to shorten the length of the closure and reduce wait times.

Traffic Control will be in place Monday through Friday until Oct. 25.

Currently no weekend work scheduled at this time.

Caltrans and its contractors remain committed to completing the project as quickly and efficiently as possible. The project is in its final stages, with completion anticipated by November 2024.

Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to “Be Work Zone Alert” and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.

The department will issue updates on X @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at CaltransDistrict3.
