PULGA 70 PROFILE CHANGE PROJECT

 

Project Description: 
Near Pulga on SR 70, from 0.8 mile west to 0.2 mile east of Shady Rest Area. Restore and repair damaged roadway by raising the existing vertical alignment by approximately five feet and protecting the embankment against future flooding with Rock Slope Protection (RSP) and a retaining structure.

Project Location Map:

Purpose:

Restore and improve resiliency of the roadway by reducing the occurrence of flooding to protect the roadway against future flood damage and increase safety for the traveling public during adverse conditions.

Need:
This existing highway floods during high river flows causing erosion to the
embankment and undercutting of the roadway. Additionally, flooding in this section
leads to long term closures of the road resulting in long traffic delays and detours.

Funding:
The project is programmed in the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) under the funding from 20.XX.201.131, Major Damage program.

Total Project Cost:
Support Cost $11,300,000
Capital Cost $32,240,000
Total Project Cost $43,540,000
