Motorists should expect 10-minute delays and use alternate routes whenever possible. Road projects are subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment, and/or materials and construction-related issues. Caltrans asks motorists to obey signage and flaggers while slowing down around crews and equipment in the cone zones.
Caltrans urges motorists traveling in the Sierra Nevada to move over and slow down when approaching Caltrans snow removal equipment on the highway. Please do not pass snowplows, graders, or sanders, unless instructed by the driver. Not only is it dangerous to you, other motorists, and the workers, but it’s also against the law.
