State Route 88 Roadway Improvements

Project Description

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to make roadway improvements along State Route 88 between post mile 5.5 and post mile 14.3 in Amador County. The work would include cold-planing the asphalt pavement and overlaying the road surface from post mile 5.5 to post mile 14.3; digging out spot locations to repair localized failures; adding shoulder backing; removing and replacing roadway signage; replacing culverts and end treatments; replacing down drains; and upgrading existing metal beam guardrails to the Midwest Guardrail System within the project area.
