Document Description
Caltrans proposes this Capital Preventative Maintenance (CAPM) Project along State Route 267 (SR 267) in Placer County between Post Mile (PM) 0.0 at the Nevada County Line and PM 9.63 at the intersection of SR 267 and Dolly Varden Avenue.
This project proposes to cold-plane and overlay 0.20-foot of Hot Mix Asphalt-Type A (HMA-A) where required. The existing southbound truck climbing lane would be extended approximately 1,600 feet from 370 feet south of Martis Peak Road (PM 6.28) and end before Carnelian Bay Avenue (PM 6.59). The shoulders adjacent to the truck climbing lane between PM 6.16 and PM 6.33 would be widened to 8 feet. Increasing the shoulder width around the culvert at PM 6.26 would require added fill at the southwest end of the culvert and a 30-foot extension to the culvert itself.
The proposed project would also extend the life of existing drainage systems in poor condition by replacing or lining. Other work would include replacing nonstandard guardrails to Midwest Guardrail System (MGS) with end terminals that meet current Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) standards; replacing HMA-A dikes with concrete dikes; upgrading sign panels and striping to meet current standards; placing shoulder backing; constructing new or modifying existing stormwater treatment facilities between PM 6.00 and PM 7.00 to treat the stormwater runoff from the newly widened roadway; and rehabilitating the existing cut slope for SR 267 northbound (NB) on the east side from PM 4.95 to PM 5.07 (540-foot-long) by excavating and replacing rock slope protection (RSP).
