Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to rehabilitate 30.290 lane miles of existing pavement, improve 28 culverts at 12 locations, upgrade traffic safety systems, improve Traffic Management Systems, and improve wildlife connectivity along a 7.55-mile section of U.S. Route 101 from just southwest of the San Juan Road overcrossing (Monterey-San Benito County line) to a point just northeast of the Betabel and Y Road overcrossing (San Benito-Santa Clara County line). Improvements would be made using various construction methods, including cold planing, asphalt overlay, dig outs, cut and cover, and pipe jacking. Within the project limits, the project would replace thrie beam barrier and non-standard metal beam guardrail and end treatments, replace concrete barriers, cold plane bridge structure approaches and on-/off-ramps, install one traffic census station and repair two additional traffic census station loops (sensors embedded in the pavement), restripe existing traffic stripe and pavements markings where necessary, upgrade rumble strip, and construct shoulder backing. One wildlife undercrossing would be constructed by improving two existing culvert locations, with directional fencing and escape ramps (“jump outs”) installed as well.
