FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
State Route 70 Closed in Downtown Marysville
Full Closure from 3rd Street to 6th Street after Structure Fire
MARYSVILLE – Caltrans is alerting motorists that State Route 70 (SR-70) remains closed in
both directions from 3rd Street to 6th Street through downtown Marysville after the historic
Marysville Hotel caught fire late Saturday night.
There are signed detours in place through Marysville as well as for big rig traffic (see maps
below) to avoid driving through downtown. State Route 99 is an alternate route when traveling
from the Sacramento area to the Chico area. Motorists should expect significant delays when
using the detour routes.
The city is inspecting the former hotel, which opened in 1926 but has been shuttered for several
decades, this afternoon to determine if it is structurally sound. There is no estimated time of
when the highway can be reopened.
Caltrans performed an extensive field review of the I-80 corridor in 2023 and found an
unprecedented amount of damage. Several areas exhibited moderate to high levels of rutting
due to chain wear and required immediate repair. Five emergency contracts were executed in
2023 for the repairs, along with an additional four emergency contracts in 2024, totaling $107.4
million. The primary contractors are Teichert, Vanguard Construction, Dees Burke Engineering
Constructors, Granite Construction, and Q&D Construction.
The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers’
safety.
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.
The department will issue construction updates on X @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at
CaltransDistrict3. For real-time traffic, click on Caltrans’ QuickMap or download the QuickMap
