December 2021 was a record breaking month, most snow since the 1970's, causing I-80 and US 50 to close. Caltrans District 3 working 24/7 trying to get the roads open. Not only snow Caltrans has to deal with but also fallen trees due too the weight of the snow. Yes, I have witness crews, working 2AM in the morning, snow blowing snow to make the roads wider. When you get this much snow, you can only plow so much and have to use snow blowing equipment which Caltrans only have a few of these equipments. Can't thank enough Caltrans District 3 men and women working tirelessly to get the roads open. Please download Caltrans app and Twitter, Caltrans provides real time updates, great resource of information. Please drive safe and come prepared when you drive up the mountain. This will help with the flow of traffic and resource. read more

Excellent response to our unpredictable signal at Hwy 99 and estates drive. Anyone one that has to wait great than 10 minutes needs to call marysville, cal trans district office and let them know about traffic light at that intersection. Very responsive. read more

80 from Colfax to Nevada state line is closed because they let stupid cars and semis drive when they should not allow them. So people like me who drive in 1.5ft of snow around my mountains has no issues at all. The weather is fine. It's only snowing 12in in the next 48hrs. Yet caltrans does nothing. Caltrans gets in our way at work, and sits and does nothing when they could be clearing the road and doing a better job to keep it open and not let stupid people like a bmw I had to push on friday because it had no chains on it. Where was caltrans on that? Looking the other way as they drove through? Do you job! read more

I'm not going to get into the specifics about CalTrans but I WILL say this: most people are not aware that because of California government CalTrans has to hire outside contractors to do work such as the previous reviewer referenced. So in fact you're barking up the wrong tree in complaining to CalTrans themselves. Moreover, many a CalTrans maintenance worker has been killed because of careless drivers. In case you haven't heard, there's actually a state law that requires you to slow down when there are workers (including police officers, tow-truck drivers, etc etc) on the side of the road. Those who work for CalTrans are at the mercy of our dear Governor. They are as helpless as the rest of us. I would suggest aiming your anger alittle higher up... read more

Nice new building next to the railroad tracks at 7th and B Street. Was a little tricky to find at first because when i went, 7th street was blocked off and didn't go all the way though and the building has a "California Transportation" sign in front, but nothing in the corner. Mixed in with some residential homes and small businesses, there is parking on B Street as well as a large employee and customer lot to the right of the building and then walk all the way back around to the front. They need more signs and directions for this, so I had two circle back around the block a few times. All visitors must remember to check in at the front desk, security seems very high here and I saw three security guards walking around on my short visit. All in all, a pleasant visit in a nice building. For reference, it takes about 45-55 minutes to get here from Roseville/Citrus Heights/Antelope with no traffic and most of the highway is one lane so allow ample time to get here. read more

Cal Trans District 3 is HORRIBLE. Their sand is more like gravel. I have been traveling the summit for 3 years for work. the first 2 winters were fine, this last winter, AWEFUL! Instead of laying out sand, they are laying out a gravel mixture. When it hits the roadways it bounces back up like bouncy balls and has destroyed 2 of my windshields. When I tried filing a claim with them they told me that it is only sand and it is something else damaging my vehicles. read more
