Los Banos State Route 152 Pavement Anchor
Project Description
The proposed project would replace existing deteriorated pavement to preserve and extend the service life of the pavement structure to improve the overall ride quality and reduce future routine maintenance. The project would also upgrade pedestrian facilities to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards to improve pedestrian mobility, bike route, upgrade Transportation Management System (TMS) elements, drainage facilities, guardrails, and roadway signs. In addition, the proposed improvements will include pavement widening for turn lane and traffic signal improvements at the I Street intersection. The project limits are on State Route (SR) 152 in Merced County in and near Los Banos from 0.3 miles west of Badger Flat Road to 0.2 miles east of San Luis Street.
Project Benefits
Purpose and Need
The purpose of this project is to improve overall pavement condition, ride quality, and minimize maintenance needs. The current pavement condition exhibits signs of distress that requires an elevated level of maintenance efforts. Other roadway assets along the corridor are not up to the current standards and need to be addressed.
Funding Source
The project is programmed in the 2022 State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP) with funding from the 201.121, Pavement Preservation Program.
