Caltrans Project East of Colfax Begins Tree Work

12th Nov 2015

COLFAX – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is alerting the public that tree cutting operations are scheduled to begin in mid-November on eastbound Interstate 80 (I-80) 3.5 miles east of Colfax in Placer County. Minimal traffic impacts are expected from occasional right shoulder closures during the tree work.

Ten acres of mixed pine forest and understory will be removed in order to facilitate future construction activities scheduled to begin in Spring 2016. Scheduling the limb and tree removal for November ensures that bird nesting habitat will not be disturbed during the upcoming construction of a $43 million truck climbing lane project on eastbound I-80.
