Pavement Rehabilitation Project Update on State Route 32 in Chico
Final Paving Scheduled for Mid-September
CHICO — Caltrans is informing motorists that paving operations on State Route 32 (SR
32) between Muir Avenue and State Route 99 in Chico are paused until mid-September.
The project, which is rehabilitating a heavily traveled stretch of highway through Chico, will
resume paving Sunday, September 14, when crews return to place the final layer of
asphalt. The final paving work will occur overnight from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., continuing the
night schedule previously used to minimize daytime traffic disruptions and enhance safety
for both crews and drivers. The paving is scheduled to be completed by early October.
Remaining construction activities, including striping, signal work, and curb and gutter
improvements are scheduled to continue through spring 2026, weather and field
extend the life of the roadway, improve ride quality, and enhance safety.
The highway remains open in both directions and no major traffic control is anticipated
until paving resumes. Minor delays may still occur as crews continue with miscellaneous
work throughout the corridor.
Caltrans is aware of recent public concerns regarding rough transitions at side street
connections. Crews recently completed placement of the bottom layer of asphalt and
worked to smooth out those areas as part of ongoing construction. While some initial
bumps were reported, contractor Knife River Construction adjusted during the paving
process to reduce elevation differences.
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.
