Purpose:

The purpose of this project is to improve safety and reduce the number and severity of collisions on SR 99 in Sutter County in the Lomo Crossing area, bound near the Live Oak Boulevard/Encinal Road intersection on the south and the Kent Avenue intersection on the north.

Need:

The collision rate for the approximately 0.75-mile section of SR 99 between Live Oak Boulevard/Encinal Road and Kent Avenue intersections, respectively, meets the Highway Safety Improvement Program requirements for a safety improvement due to the number and severity of collisions, which are mostly due to turning movements at the Live Oak Boulevard/Encinal Road intersection with some related to the southbound SR 99 left turn lane, which is restricted in length due to the proximity of the railroad tracks.

Funding:

It has been determined that this project is eligible for Federal-aid funding. The project is programmed in the 2020 State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) under the 20.XX.201.010 Safety program and was funded in the 2023/2024 fiscal year.

Cost Estimate:

Support Cost $4,015,000
Capital Cost $9,900,000
Total Project Cost $13,915,000
