Document Description
The project would improve State Route 99 from 4 lanes to 6 lanes from post mile 15.1 to post mile 19.9 in Madera County. There is a build alternative (Alternative 1) and a no-build alternative under consideration. Alternative 1 would construct two lanes within the existing median. The existing lanes and shoulders would be reconstructed using a rehab strategy and upgraded to the standard widths. All ramps within the project limits would be overlaid with Hot Mix Asphalt, as required. The Berenda and Dry Creek bridges would be improved and/or decked in the middle. Median barriers would be installed throughout the project. Overhead signs and gore areas would be upgraded. Drainage facilities would be upgraded and expanded. Complete streets elements, such as sidewalks and crosswalks, would be implemented at the Avenue 18½ Overcrossing, where feasible. No new right-of-way is anticipated.
