All work will be conducted Monday -Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Work requiring traffic control will be performed using the Caltrans pre-approved T-Sheets for example T13 when applicable. For overhead conductor removal and installation over the state route, rolling traffic breaks will be utilized with CHP assistance, as approved by the permit inspector and in compliance with the Lane Closure Chart.
