FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
State Route 65 Pavement Rehabilitation Project in Yuba County Begins
Project Highlighted by 1.4 Miles of Pavement Upgrades in City of Wheatland
WHEATLAND — Caltrans announced the start of a $10.3 million State Route 65 (SR-65)
Wheatland Pavement Rehabilitation Project today, an extensive infrastructure improvement
initiative that will improve safety, ride quality and mobility options.
This project aims to significantly upgrade SR-65, pedestrian pathways, and bicycle facilities in the
city of Wheatland. The project is scheduled to be completed by December. Knife River is the
primary contractor.
The primary objective of this project is replacing 1.4 lane miles highway pavement, upgrade
shoulders and improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity in line with the Caltrans District 3
Complete Streets Plan.
The project will also address four drainage culverts and multiple curb ramps that are either in poor
condition or not compliant with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
Another key component includes constructing a Class I multi-use path, modifying driveways, and
improving crosswalk visibility. Additionally, a new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection
with McDevitt Drive.
At today’s ceremony, Caltrans District 3 Acting Director Sergio Aceves spoke about how the
project aligns with the department’s “four core priorities” of safety, equity, climate action and
prosperity.
“It’s very important that we as a department listen to the community and build a department
that will improve their quality of life,” he said. “I believe we’ve done that with this project. "At
Caltrans, our commitment to ensuring safe, sustainable, and efficient transportation
solutions for all Californians is unwavering. This project exemplifies our dedication to
enhancing infrastructure and improving the daily lives of the communities we serve. By
upgrading the roads, pathways, and bicycle facilities in Wheatland, we are fostering
connectivity, supporting economic growth, and enhancing the quality of life for residents and
visitors alike.”
Aceves was joined by Yuba County Supervisor Gary Bradford, Wheatland Mayor Rick
West, Wheatland City Engineer Dane Schilling, and Yuba-Sutter CHP Commander Eric
Walker.
