FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Winter Travel Advisory
for January 3 - 5, 2022
REDDING – The National Weather Service is forecasting another winter
weather system for the Northern California area, starting Monday and lasting
through Wednesday. Snow levels are currently forecast to start around 2,500
feet on Monday and rise to 4,500 feet or higher by midday Tuesday. Strong
winds and whiteout conditions are possible at times during the storm as well.
Motorists should plan for chain controls in higher elevations and are advised to
check weather and roadway conditions prior to and during breaks in travel.
Higher elevation travel is discouraged during inclement winter weather.
Motorists who must travel into higher elevations must carry chains, be
prepared for winter driving conditions, expect delays and possible closures,
and follow instructions of Caltrans personnel and law enforcement. Motorists
who do not comply with chain controls endanger their own safety and the
safety of other motorists around them, along with jeopardizing our vital
maintenance operations to keep routes open and safe during storms. Truck
and/or vehicle screening may occur for northbound Interstate 5 traffic at
Fawndale Road, approximately ten miles north of Redding, prior to or during
the weather system. Motorists are also reminded to be cognizant when
traveling in recent burn scar areas.
For more information, please contact the District 2 Public Information Office
during business hours at (530) 225-3426 or via email
. 24/7 updated highway
conditions are available via QuickMap (also available by free app for
smartphones), One-Stop-Shop (Western U.S.), or through the Caltrans
Highway Information Network by calling 1-800-427-7623. Motorists can also
follow Caltrans District 2 on our Twitter and Facebook pages for important
traffic updates.
