Caltrans has delayed the start of a project on Highway 78 near Palo Verde.

The project to work on bridges along the State Route was scheduled to begin last Thursday night. Caltrans says the five month-long project will now begin in late November. When work commences, there will be traffic disruptions from Howbuck/Lugo Road to Stallard Road for the project involving two bridges. There will be one-way traffic control in effect. No reason was given for the delay.
