Almanor West Rehab & Lake Almanor Broadband Project on State Route 89

The Project:

 

The Almanor West Rehab/Lake Almanor Broadband project is in Plumas County along State Route (SR) 89 near Canyon Dam from Lake Almanor Spillway to SR 36.

 

Project Benefits:

 

The pavement will be rehabilitated to improve safety, driver comfort, ride quality and reduce maintenance needs. Shoulders will be widened to a minimum of four feet from post mile (PM) 30.2 to PM 39.0, and eight feet from PM 39.0 to PM 42.2. In addition to the rehabilitation work, the project will construct a paved Class1 multi-use path from PM 37.9 to PM 41.6. The project will also include 12 miles of new fiber-optic conduit and cable along SR 89 from PM 30.2 to PM 41.6.

The project includes rehabilitating that segment of SR 89 using Full Depth Reclamation-Foamed Asphalt (FDR-FA) and full reconstruction strategies. Replacing and upgrading worn, failing, or functionally obsolete highway appurtenances. Rehabilitate existing drainage facilities. Upgrading guardrail throughout the project to address deficiencies. Upgrading the Clear Recover Zone where feasible. Construction of a Class 1 multi-use path along a portion of the roadway. Also included is the addition of new fiber-optic conduit and cable along SR 89, between the road shoulder and the right of way line.
