IMPORTANT UPDATE
(Redding) - Caltrans District 2 officials are advising the traveling public, both commercial
and private, that Interstate 5 near the California- Oregon border will remain CLOSED
throughout the night due to the Klamathon Fire.
It is recommended that people limit travel if possible-perhaps staying in Redding or
further south in Red Bluff or Corning until the road is clear.
Another suggestion, especially for commercial trucks on freight routes/schedules is to
drive through Weed and SR97 without stopping. But please remember this route is
already crowded and it is extremely important to drive slowly and fully aware of the
potential excess in the number of vehicles transiting via SR 97.
Caltrans District 2 won't be able to provide another update until the morning, perhaps at 6
AM or 7 AM or 8 AM --depending on conditions.
Please share this message. We hope to reach communities as far south as possible to
prevent motorists getting stuck in the unpredictability of fires.

Please remember to slow down.
SAFETY IS A PARTNERSHIP.
