FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Reopening of State Route 70 in Feather River Canyon
With One-Way Traffic Control Through the Feather River Canyon
BUTTE COUNTY – Caltrans is alerting motorists that State Route 70 (SR-70) is scheduled to
reopen with one-way traffic control Saturday at 5 p.m. following months of being closed due to
severe rockslides and weather-related damages.
The reopening will involve one-way traffic control along a one-mile stretch near Cresta. This setup is
crucial as construction activities continue for the $58.8 million Pulga Project.
The project started in February 2023 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. Key
improvements include elevating the existing roadway and reinforcing the embankment with a
retaining wall to better withstand future flooding. Additionally, an 8-foot shoulder will be provided
along that stretch of highway.
Motorists traveling through the area are advised to stay alert, follow all traffic signs, and anticipate
minor delays due to the ongoing construction and one-way traffic control.
Motorists are encouraged to check Caltrans’ QuickMap before traveling for current road conditions
or download the QuickMap app from the App Store or Google Play. Road information is also
available on Caltrans’ website or by calling the California Highway Information Network automated
phone service at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623).
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento
Valley and Northern Sierra counties. The department will issue updates on X @CaltransDist3 and
on Facebook CaltransDistrict3.
