Telephone Ridge Culverts

The Telephone Ridge Culverts project, managed by the California Department of Transportation District 2, involves the repair and replacement of six culverts on State Route 36 in Trinity County. The work is located between post miles 21.97 and R31.84 and will be executed using the cut and cover method. A primary objective of the project is to update inlets and outlets to ensure they accommodate proper flow and adhere to current design standards. This project is funded by the state and is classified under NAICS code 237310. It has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301, Class (C), as the scope of work is limited to the maintenance and repair of an existing public highway without expanding its use. The project was forecasted on August 20, 2026, with Stephanie N. Houtman serving as the primary point of contact.
