County Roads crews are currently working to plow and remove downed trees on roads in the unincorporated areas. Downed trees with powerlines in them require PG&E response. Thank you for your patience as our crews work hard to address the impacts of this storm.
If you are in the City of Grass Valley, City of Nevada City, or Town of Truckee city/town limits, their service teams will be the go-to resource for that area. Please visit their websites for additional information.
Check the Caltrans District 3 map for information on highway conditions and closures.
