REDDING – Major bridge joint seal work is planned on Interstate 5 after Memorial Day weekend at Cottonwood Creek Bridge, approximately 15 miles south of Redding (near the Shasta/Tehama County Line). Long-term lane closures (tentatively planned for Friday nights through Sunday mornings) will generate lengthy traffic backups with the possibility of extended delays during daytime operations on selected Saturdays. There is no other highway alternative in the area.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area during bridge joint work on Saturdays during daytime hours or plan their travels through the area during nighttime hours when interstate traffic volumes are lesser.

Current schedule (Each weekend from Friday at 10 p.m. to Sunday at 6 a.m.)

Weekend #1 (5/29-5/31): Closure of northbound #2 lane.
Weekend #2 (6/5-6/7): Closure of northbound #1 lane.
Weekend #3 (6/12-6/14): Closure of southbound #2 lane.
Weekend #4 (6/19-6/21): Closure of southbound #1 lane.
Weekend #5 (6/26-6/28): Contingency for any unfinished work
(Note: There will be intermittent ramp closures at the Gas Point onramp heading south, and the Bowman onramp heading north)

J.F. Shea Construction, North Region Construction and Caltrans District 2 thank the traveling public and local communities for their patience during the construction of the project.
