Susanville Paving Project on State Route 139

The Project:

The 139 Susanville Paving project in Lassen County is on State Route (SR) 139 near Susanville, from 0.1 mile north of Chestnut Street to 2.6 miles south of Horse Lake Road.

Project Benefits:

The purpose of the project is to restore the facility to a state of good repair such that the roadway will be in a condition requiring minimal maintenance that includes complete streets measures. This project is expected to extend the life of the pavement approximately seven to ten years. The project will also bring guardrail, concrete barrier, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) elements to current standards. The project also includes drainage improvements and improved maintenance vehicle safety features.

Project Includes:

This project proposes to implement a Capital Preventive Maintenance (CAPM) pavement strategy on SR 139 in Lassen County. This project will extend the life of the pavement, replace six curb ramps, upgrade guardrail, upgrade concrete barrier, pave unpaved maintenance vehicle pullouts, widen shoulders in select locations, replace/upgrade signage, upgrade an existing traffic signal with a loop detection system, extend one culvert and replace six culverts.

Current Project Schedule:

It is estimated this project will take 145 workings days, with 44 days requiring traffic control and 19 days requiring intermittent road closures. Anticipated construction is scheduled to start in spring of 2025, but is subject to change.

Project Funding Estimates:

Project Cost: $17.3 Million
