Quincy, CA – Drivers traveling through northeastern California this morning are seeing improving conditions on US-395 after new guidance from the California Highway Patrol. Northbound lanes have reopened to traffic, but southbound travelers will still need to follow a detour near the state line.
According to CHP Quincy, southbound drivers coming from SR-70 toward the California–Nevada border are being rerouted onto Red Rock Road. Officials did not specify how long the detour will remain in place but advised motorists to expect delays, especially during peak morning and afternoon travel windows.
The US-395 corridor is a key connector for Plumas County, Lassen County, and travelers headed toward Reno, NV, making even partial closures impact-heavy for commuters, commercial drivers, and visitors. CHP said crews are continuing to monitor the area to maintain safety and ensure traffic is moving as efficiently as possible.
No additional hazards were reported, but drivers should reduce speed, use caution while entering detour zones, and watch for signage directing traffic off SR-70. Travelers heading northbound should still anticipate brief slowdowns as vehicles merge back into regular flow.
Motorists planning trips between Susanville, Herlong, the SR-70 junction, and the Nevada state line are encouraged to check live updates before departing, as conditions may shift throughout the day.
