Skyway Widening and Skyway Link Projects

The City of Paradise in California is forecasting the Skyway Widening (CIP 9425) and Skyway Link (CIP 9424) Projects, categorized under NAICS code 237310. The project involves construction along an approximately 0.84-mile segment of Skyway between Bille Road and Wagstaff Road in Butte County. The scope of work includes the construction of a 12-foot-wide center turn lane, the widening of shoulders, the infilling of sidewalk sections, and the addition of a Class I multi-use path. These improvements are intended to increase pedestrian connectivity and enhance emergency evacuation capabilities for the town. The project is designated as a forecast with a posted date of June 24, 2026. According to the Notice of Exemption signed by Supervising Project Manager Louis Johnson, the project is exempt from further environmental review under California's CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c). This exemption is based on the fact that the work involves existing facilities and will not increase traffic capacity, construct additional through lanes, or result in the expansion of existing use.
