State Route 70 Slide Update
January 11, 2022
State Route 70 is currently open to through traffic between Jarbo Gap and the
Greenville Wye following closure from the slide near the Butte/Plumas County
Line. Debris removal and roadway repairs have been completed and the area was
reopened fully to traffic at 4 p.m. yesterday.
Motorists are reminded that the slide location has experienced multiple periods of
activity since the initial event and more inclement, winter weather is expected in the
coming months. Motorists should also be cognizant of burn scar areas along State
Route 70 from the Dixie Fire and possible effects from inclement weather periods.
Dixie Fire emergency work also continues at various locations in the State Route 70
corridor by Caltrans and our contractors, along with permitted work for PG&E, utility
companies, and other agencies. Motorists should currently plan for 30-60 minute
delays on SR 70 between Jarbo Gap and Quincy, Mondays-Saturdays during daytime
hours, along with minor delays on Sundays. This work and scheduling are weather
dependent and subject to change at any time. Areas of work and delay times in this
corridor may change in upcoming months depending on agencies involved and areas of
work needed to be completed following the Dixie Fire.
Caltrans and our contractors thank the traveling public and locals for their patience
during recent slide closures. 24/7 roadway conditions are available via QuickMap and
district information is available on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
