GLENN COUNTY, Calif. – Caltrans is alerting motorists of construction activities on a safety improvement project at the intersection of State Route 32 and County Road P in Orland.

The project includes the installation of a new traffic signal to improve safety and reduce the number of collisions at this location.

This week marks the start of onsite work, with crews performing potholing operations to locate underground utilities. Current work is taking place within the shoulder areas and is not expected to significantly impact traffic flow.

This $6.1 million safety project will enhance motorist safety at the intersection and reduce the frequency of collisions.

Motorists are advised to slow down, watch for construction crews and equipment traveling in and out of the work zone, and expect intermittent delays.

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.
