CA-38 Road Status
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) continues the emergency project on CA-38 to repair damages that were caused by Tropical Storm Mario. CA-38 will be under a FULL CLOSURE Mondays through Thursdays from 7AM to 5PM and on Fridays, one-way traffic control with flagging will be in effect. This schedule allows construction crews to safely and efficiently operate heavy equipment to install/repair culverts, remove heavy debris from overfilled basins, address roadway undermining, rebuild slopes, and complete repairs at the main washout location at postmile 23.90. The route will be open to travelers without restrictions from 5:01PM to 6:59AM and fully open on weekends. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution when traveling, as this remains an active construction zone.
CA-330 Road Status
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) continues the emergency project on CA-330 to repair damaged culvert, roadway, and basins near Running Springs. Sema construction continues to install new culverts, rebuild slopes, and excavate overfilled basins. Work will continue with one-way flagging control Mondays through Fridays between 7AM to 3:30PM from East Fork City Creek to Live Oak Drive. The operation will require a flagging operation or a moving closure, so drivers should anticipate a wait time of 15 minutes. rich-text, responsive-table
