I-5-Maxwell Northbound Safety Roadside Rest Area Project
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project is proposed in Colusa County on Interstate 5 (I-5) at postmile R24.3, approximately 2.5 miles south of the City of Maxwell. This project proposes to improve the Northbound (NB) Maxwell Safety Roadside Rest Area (SRRA) (15R0001R).
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to extend the operational lifecycle of the existing NB Maxwell SRRA facility while also accommodating future traffic volume demands for the comfort station fixtures.
Need
The existing NB SRRA (15R0001R) is in substandard condition due to aging facilities. Current comfort stations are at the end of their functional life cycle and below the minimum restroom fixture count needed to service the growing volume of motorist along I-5.
FUNDING:
This project was programmed into the 2022 State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP) under the program code 20.XX.201.250 – Roadside Rest Facilities
