Purpose
The purpose is to rehabilitate this portion of State Route 99 to a state of good repair so the roadway requires minimal maintenance, improves ride quality, and extends pavement service life. The existing pavement has deteriorated, resulting in rough ride for motorists and high maintenance costs.
Need
The existing Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement has developed significant third stage cracking. This pavement deterioration results in high maintenance costs, rough riding pavement and exceeds what can be cost effectively maintained through pavement preservation projects. The existing asphalt pavement at the on/off ramps, and shoulders also triggers for pavement repair. This project will rehabilitate the pavement and eliminate costly repairs in the future by providing a long life pavement solution.
Funding Source
This State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP) project has been programmed in the 2016 (SHOPP) cycle and is to be delivered in the 19/20 fiscal year under the Pavement Rehabilitation Program.
