Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), using state and federal funding, is proposing to rehabilitate pavement and make other associated improvements along Interstate 5 (I-5) in Siskiyou County from post mile (PM) R58.2 to R69.293. These improvements include repaving the roadway and ramps; replacing guard rail, lighting, and signs; upgrading TMS and ITS elements; installing wildlife exclusionary fencing; and repairing 4 culvert pipe segments, rehabilitating 18 culvert pipe segments, replacing 8 culvert pipe segments (this includes replacing 1 downdrain), abandoning 7 culvert pipe segments, and installing 6 new culvert pipe segments (this includes installing 2 new downdrains). Other drainage work would adjust inlets and overside drains to match new flowline and replace edge drains and install cross drain interceptors where necessary. The purpose of this project is to reduce distressed lane miles, improve ride quality, minimize future maintenance and capital efforts and costs, reduce worker exposure, extend the useful pavement life for a minimum of 20 years, and improve safety and facility reliability for all modes for travel and goods movement. The project will restore the pavement, culvert segments, and TMS elements to a good condition.
