Caltrans will initiate vegetation control at highway 229 this week at the intersection of highway 58 and just south of Rocky Canyon road.
From around 7 to 4 pm each day, Monday to Friday, contractors will be removing dead and dying brush and ladder fuels to reduce wildfire risks.
The project is expected to be completed by mid-February. During this time, there will be intermittent one-way traffic control.
Caltrans says delays should not exceed 20 minutes, and drivers should be aware of flaggers and workers in the area.
