YUBA CITY, CA (MPG) - Caltrans is alerting motorists that State Route 99 (SR-99) at Richland Road was partially closed on April 3 for signal repairs required after a collision that occurred on March 28.

The temporary closure resulted from a truck striking a signal pole, causing it to collapse. The signal had been operating under “flashing red” after the crash.
