South Redding to face more traffic delays after bridge work
Get ready for more traffic delays on Eastside Road in south Redding after the Olney Creek Bridge replacement project is finished in early 2027. Pacific Gas & Electric crews will come in to replace a gas transmission line, PG&E spokesman Paul Moreno said. “PG&E crews and contractors will install a new gas transmission line starting in early February and lasting approximately four months. One-way traffic controls and occasional road closures will be in effect during work hours,” Moreno said in an email to the Record Searchlight. Moreno said the work will go from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. He added, “there’s a possibility of some night and weekend work.” The on-again, off-again Olney Creek Bridge project was launched in May 2023 and was expected to be completed in December 2024. But the project encountered delays, some caused by unexpected issues, said Nick Visconti, construction manager in the city’s public works department. “Some of the project delays have been attributed to difficulty in obtaining materials due to longer than normal lead times, encountering unanticipated contaminated soils, preparing remediation and removal plans and completing the work and contractual and permit issues related to working in proximity to the railroad,”
