Caltrans advises motorists to be alert for the landscaping work that is taking place on several rural highways through Monday, Dec. 22, as crews prepare for the next fire season.

Work will move onto highway shoulders where possible to minimize traffic impacts. Drivers may experience minor delays in the work zones and are advised to plan accordingly.

Motorists are reminded to slow down and safely move over a lane when Caltrans or other emergency vehicles are displaying flashing amber lights. It’s the law.
