Emergency Slide Repairs Underway on State Route 96 Between Horse Creek & Oakbar

REDDING – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans District 2) and Hayes & Sons, Inc. have begun emergency slide repairs on State Route 96, approximately 2 miles east of Horse Creek, in Siskiyou County. Work addressing the slide area includes slope excavation and material disposal.

Motorists should currently plan for 24/7 one-way traffic control with up to 10-minute delays until slope is stabilized and material is removed from the roadway. Motorists are urged to slow down and drive carefully in and around construction areas, follow speed limit reductions in place, and allot extra time for delays. This area is subject to change at any time due to inclement weather, operations, or continued slide activity.

Construction projects are subject to changes without prior notice. Caltrans and its contractors do our best to keep the public informed. To stay up to date on highway projects, please follow us on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). Project information can also be found on the District 2 webpage. The public can also call (530) 225-3426 during working hours or send an email to [email protected]. Updated highway conditions for California can be found on QuickMap and on One-Stop-Shop for the Western U.S. For more information about transportation and other infrastructure projects funded with state and federal investments, visit Build.gov.ca.
