Merced 140 Roadside Safety Improvements Project

Project Facts

Description:

Caltrans would extend culverts, remove and reconstruct headwalls outside of the clear recovery zone, and add new guardrail at 12 locations from post miles 2.3 to 49.0 on State Route 140 near the City of Gustine and the community of Planada.

 

Project Benefits

Purpose:

The purpose of the project is to reduce collisions and minimize collision severity involving errant vehicles leaving the traveled way and striking fixed objects.

Need:

The project is needed because fixed objects, such as culvert headwalls, are within the clear recovery zone. Relocating headwalls outside the clear recovery zone would decrease the potential and minimize the severity of collisions.
