The California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated over $988 million today, Jan. 27, to repair and improve transportation infrastructure throughout the state. This funding includes more than $450 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 and more than $250 million from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

Plumas County projects included are:

• Feather River Inn Intersection Project (Near Blairsden, from 0.4 mile east of Little Bear Road to 0.4 mile west of Highway 89): New roadway construction to Highway 70, drainage work, and striping.

• Cromberg Rehab Project (In and near Cromberg and Portola, from Gill Ranch Road to 0.2 mile west of Big Grizzly Creek Bridge) at East Sand Slough Bridge, Samson Slough Bridge and Paynes Creek Slough Bridge):Rehabilitate roadway, repair and replace culverts, upgrade guardrail, upgrade bridge railing at Humbug Creek Bridge, and make pedestrian facilities Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant.

SB 1 provides $5 billion in transportation funding annually that is shared equally between the state and local agencies. Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of SB 1 funds, including projects that are partially funded by SB 1.
