Red Rock to Doyle Safety Project

Red Rock to Doyle Safety Project

Caltrans is the lead agency under CEQA and NEPA for the project. As shown in Figure 1, the Red Rock to Doyle Safety Project is located on United States Route 395, post miles R5.60 to R29.90, near the community of Doyle in Lassen County. The purpose of this project is to reduce the frequency and severity of crossover collisions, reduce distressed lane miles, improve ride quality, and minimize future maintenance and capital efforts and costs. This project would extend the useful pavement life for a minimum of 10 years and improve safety and facility reliability for all modes of travel/goods movement, and would restore pavement, culverts, bridges, guardrails, and Transportation Management System elements to a good condition. To address the crossover collisions occurring within the project limits, Caltrans is considering two build alternatives: Alternative 1 - Alternating Slow Moving Vehicle Lanes: Under this alternative, alternating slow moving vehicle lanes (1.5 to 3 miles long) would be constructed along the northbound and southbound travelway. Alternative 2 – Concrete Median Barrier: Under this alternative, northbound and southbound traffic would be separated by a 42-inch-tall concrete barrier.
