Overnight Closure Scheduled for Butte City Bridge Saturday
Detour in Place During Bridge Work
BUTTE/GLENN COUNTIES — Caltrans has completed the previously scheduled overnight full
closures of the Butte City Bridge on State Route 162 (SR 162). However, crews will perform
another overnight full closure for installation of the joint assembly across the new bridge deck
on Saturday from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
During the closure, no traffic will be permitted on the bridge. A detour will be in place directing
motorists to use State Route 45 (SR 45) to Ord Ferry Road to Aguas Frias Road, which leads
back to SR 162. Drivers should be aware that the detour includes single-lane, signal-
controlled traffic on the Ord Ferry Road Bridge across Little Chico Creek, with a speed limit of
15 mph.
Starting Monday evening, traffic will be fully open on the new bridge. There will be no pilot car,
no traffic control, and no flagger -- travelers will have unrestricted access across the bridge.
However, drivers should be aware that additional traffic control may be in place at times between
then and the project's expected completion in 2026 as crews continue work in the area.
The bridge closure is part of a $114 million replacement project that began in 2022. Full
construction of the new bridge is expected to be completed by early June, with full project
completion, including demolition of the old bridge, anticipated in 2026. The project will improve
safety and extend the lifespan of the bridge while enhancing roadway conditions along the
corridor. In addition to replacing the aging structure, the project includes upgrades to drainage
systems, improved signage and striping, and accessibility enhancements to meet Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Caltrans advises motorists to plan ahead, allow for extra
travel time and follow posted detour signs.
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11
Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to “Be Work Zone
Alert” and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these
improvements.
