Terry Edwards, Butte County Department of Public Works Assistant Director, did update us via email (July 29, 2025) with the current project status.

We are actively working through the FEMA Public Assistance Program approval process and are concurrently evaluating design alternatives to address the roadway failure. While final approval has not yet been received, we remain fully engaged in meeting FEMA’s requirements and advancing the project toward construction readiness.

Our last response from Butte County Public Works on April 7, 2025 (edited for clarity):

You’re correct that I recently spoke with Teri Dubose from Congressman LaMalfa’s office regarding the status of the FEMA grant for the Skyway road failure. I can confirm that the grant has not been cancelled. Rather, it is progressing slowly through FEMA’s review and funding obligation process, which, unfortunately, remains outside of the County’s direct control.
