Document Description
Caltrans proposed to remove existing MBGR on N/B PCH, replace it with an extended section of MGS, and add shoulder rumble strip for buffered class II bicycle lane within PM 29,0/29.3 in City of Huntington Beach in Orange County. No trench will be needed for this project. The contractor will remove the wood post and install the new post using jack hammer (6’ post for this project).
The project has an estimated construction cost of $385,000. The proactive safety performance measure is 0.099 annual fatal+serious injury collisions reduced, and 1.40 total fatal+serious injury collisions reduced over the life of the project. Life is calculated as 10 years for the Rumble Strip, and 20 years for the MGS.
