District 7 Projects

SR-14 Pavement Improvements Via Princessa to Mountain Springs Road

THE PROJECT

The project will replace pavement slabs in both directions of the Antelope Freeway (SR-14) between Mountain Springs Road in the City of Palmdale and Via Princessa in the City of Santa Clarita, a distance of about 20.5 miles. Additionally, the project will replace slabs on ramps, lay new asphalt on shoulders, seal joints and re-stripe the freeway.

BENEFITS

This project will extend the life of the pavement, reduce maintenance costs and closures, and provide a smoother ride for motorists.                                                                                               

SCHEDULE

Construction began April 2012 and will be completed in August 2012.             

COST/CONTRACTOR

The cost of the project is $40 million. The contractor is Security Paving of Sun Valley, Calif.

CLOSURES

Most of the construction will be completed at night to minimize inconvenience to motorists, though there will be some work during the day on shoulders. Motorists should expect multiple simultaneous closures in different locations within the project limits. Closures will be signed well in advance of the closure location.

Lane closure information for this and other freeway projects is available on the Caltrans website: http://www.lcswebreports.dot.ca.gov/lcswebreports
