If you’re driving on State Route 36 near Fredonyer Summit, be prepared for some delays—Caltrans and construction crews are working around the clock to fix earthquake-related damage to the road.
Recent seismic activity has caused cracking and shifting pavement, making travel tricky, especially for low-clearance vehicles. To address the issue, crews from Caltrans District 2 and Tullis, Inc. are grinding and smoothing the road while also investigating long-term solutions to stabilize the area.
What Drivers Need to Know
Expect Delays: One-way traffic control is in place 24/7, and wait times could be up to 25 minutes.
Slow Speeds: When a pilot car is guiding traffic, drivers must keep speeds under 15 MPH in areas where pavement is removed.
Use Caution: Stop signs and signals will be in place, and all drivers should take it slow and stay alert in the work zone.
Changing Conditions: Weather and ongoing slide activity could impact the construction schedule, so conditions may change without notice.
If you’re traveling through the area, plan ahead, drive safely, and be patient—crews are working hard to make sure the road is safe for everyone.
