Mad River Culvert DDO

The California Department of Transportation is planning repairs to a culvert on State Route 36 in Trinity County at Post Mile R3.28 following significant scour damage caused by a storm. The project, authorized under a district director’s order and funded by state resources, will involve replacing the culvert’s headwall and installing a sleeve inside the existing structure to restore its integrity. A temporary creek diversion is anticipated as part of the work to facilitate safe and efficient construction. The effort is being managed by Caltrans District 2 in Redding, with Robert Meade, Senior Environmental Scientist Supervisory, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The project was posted as a forecast on June 26, 2026, and further details can be accessed through the provided Caltrans project link.
