Take a look back at a video from Caltrans Blasting crews on Hwy 97. Crews travel throughout the state to reduce large boulders and secure unstable slopes to reopen highways and make them safe for the traveling public as well as our own Maintenance, Construction and Geotechnical crews. Crews attend annual training in South Lake Tahoe to stay current on existing regulations, safety policies, blasting methods, and the latest equipment, so they can continue to work safely and to the best of their ability. Blasting is mostly an unheard-of practice within the department but is an extremely vital part of what Caltrans does to keep the state highway system open. It is just another example of the department’s efficiency; an internal program that trains and develops specialists ready to face any challenge in maintaining our highways and infrastructure throughout the state of California. Join us for an exclusive look at dynamic photo/video footage and learn how Caltrans blasting crews use explosives to blast massive boulders and ensure the safety of our highways. Hear from the blasting specialists about their career journeys and their explosives experience! Register Now!

Exciting news, Huntington Beach! 🌼✨ The Oak View Neighborhood has officially been revamped with vibrant art, climate-resilient landscaping and roadway safety improvements. This project was made possible by a $5 million grant from #CleanCA – the statewide initiative that Governor Newsom appointed Caltrans to carry out on its mission of removing litter, creating jobs and beautifying neighborhoods that need it the most. Caltrans District 12 selected the Oak View Cleanup and Beautification Project as one of only 42 recipients of the Clean California Local Grant Award. More than 230 applications were received statewide.

Caltrans District 4 (Bay Area) proudly celebrated the Ribbon Cutting for the City of South San Francisco Centennial Trail Park! This incredible $4.8M project, funded by $2.4M in Clean CA Local Grant Funds, has transformed 4 acres of underutilized land into a vibrant linear park along Centennial Way, featuring a skate park, bike track, playgrounds, an outdoor classroom, pollinator garden, and so much more!

Check out Caltrans District 1 - Recently completed a slope stabilization project along Route 36 in Humboldt County after rockslides from the December 2022 earthquakes. The main slide near Grizzly Creek Redwoods was active through 2023, delaying mitigation efforts. This past Spring, crews began installing a cable net drapery system to catch falling rocks and prevent them from reaching the road. The project involved removing hazardous material, hand-scaling the slope with rappelling workers, and using helicopters for drapery installation. Two elevated draperies below the main cable net will now funnel rocks and catch them before they hit the roadway. Despite the slide being relatively small, with about 10,000 cubic yards of material removed, this system aims to enhance safety for drivers along Route 36. Thanks to all involved! #Caltrans #RoadSafety #HumboldtCounty
