The Burney Falls Pavement project, in Shasta County on State Route (SR) 89 is about six miles east of Burney from 0.2 mile north of Route 299 to 0.6 mile north of Lake Britton Road.

Project Benefits:

This project will benefit motorists traveling through that stretch of SR 89, by restoring the roadway to a state of good repair, requiring minimal maintenance.
