NEW TRUCK ROUTE RESTRICTION: Caltrans District 2 would like to advise the public of a recent change to a portion of State Route 70 in Plumas County when it comes to single trip oversized permit loads.
Effective immediately, from the junction with State Route 89 (Greenville Wye) to the intersection with Linden Street in Quincy, a CHP escort will be required for all loads exceeding 12-feet wide or 85-feet long and two pilot cars are required on all other permit loads.
This section of State Route 70 has been reclassified as a red category from brown category in response to a recent permit load collision and subsequent analysis of the route. Pilot car requirements vary by route and are represented in five district colors (from least to most restrictive): yellow, green, blue, brown, and red. Updated single trip permit load maps and information for District 2 and the rest of California can be found here: https://dot.ca.gov/programs/traffic-operations/transportation-permits/stpcmaps
