Road Closures

 

The County is divided into four road districts as shown above (effective 10-2-2010). The road closure list is organized by road districts. The roads named in the list are roads that typically are closed during rain or snow events. Additional roads will be added as necessary.  Click on a road district to display road closures for that area.

Weather related road closures and warnings are posted from a list compiled by the Road Maintenance Division of the Butte County Department of Public Works. The list is periodically updated during storm events during normal working hours (M-F 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM). This list is for County maintained roads only, and does NOT include any State Highways nor city maintained roads. Roads may be flooded and not on this list due to localized conditions. While the Department makes every effort to provide accurate information, the Department is not responsible for any omissions that may occur.

The following links provide additional information regarding roads in the city limits, state, and surrounding counties.
