5a Caltrans Presentation Silver Bridge Safety Project SR44 093026 BOD
Summary
The Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) board will hear about the Silver Bridge Road Intersection Safety Project on State Route 44. This project, east of Palo Cedro, plans to build a roundabout to fix safety problems. There have been nine crashes from 2020 to 2025, with one death and seven injuries. The roundabout is expected to cut injury crashes by 89% and stop fatalities. Caltrans, not SRTA, is paying for it with $9,620,000. Construction is set to start in Spring 2030. The environmental report is due in June 2028, and the project will start in October 2026.
