According to the Susanville office of the California Highway Patrol, Caltrans has begun tree work for the Chester Causeway Rehabilitation Project along State Route 36 in Lassen and Plumas Counties.
The project is located at multiple locations from Melissa Avenue in Chester to just east of Red River Canal in Westwood.
Traffic control will be in effect Monday through Friday from dawn to dusk through mid-February. Motorists should plan for delays of up to 15 minutes.
The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the pavement along State Route 36. This will be accomplished by reconstructing the full depth of the existing roadway along some portions while widening the shoulders to eight feet.
In other locations, the project will mill and overlay the roadway and widen the shoulders to four feet. Other parts of the project will include guardrail replacement, culvert work, rumble strips and signage.
The bulk of the construction for this project is expected to begin in the spring and summer as weather permits.
