State Route 4 Culvert Replacement
Project Description
Caltrans proposes to rehabilitate or replace existing culverts on State Routes 4, 88, and 89 in Alpine County. Existing drainage systems at the proposed locations have exceeded their design life and have deteriorated or failed. Certain culverts would be replaced with the existing size, and others would be upsized to maintain the existing water flow capacity. The project would also upgrade or replace end treatments and headwalls as needed. To maintain and upgrade the existing facilities, work off the paved roadway, ground disturbance, work in the channel, and vegetation removal would be required. Permanent right-of-way acquisition, temporary construction easements, and work on federal lands would also be required.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to maintain existing drainage systems and preserve roadway integrity.
Need
Culverts in the system have exceeded their design life and show extensive wear with deteriorated, corroded, and damaged inverts, shape loss, and joint separation. The Maintenance Engineering Culvert Inspection Team reported that several existing culverts need repairs or replacement. If these culverts continue to deteriorate, undermining of the roadways will occur, and highways will be compromised.
