Why is the Work Needed?
The purpose of the project is to improve ride quality, enhance safety, and extend the service life of the pavement. These full weekend closures are necessary for worker and public safety during the work. Caltrans will perform major pavement rehabilitation on the two center traffic lanes in both the northbound and southbound directions of SR-87. The roadway has become worn and in need of major repairs due to decades of high traffic use.
Project Scope
The roadway pavement will be replaced with 20-year life cycle flexible pavement structure by cold planning and replacing the pavement to maintain existing profile grade. Upgrade 28 curb ramps at six intersections, resurface 2.9 miles of class I bikeway that runs parallel to the mainline, repair localized depressions in the roadway profile grade by injecting expanded polyurethane materials, replace the existing nonstandard median concrete barrier, replace asphalt concrete dikes, replace nonstandard guardrails, Place enhanced wet/night visibility striping and shoulder rumble strips, upgrade/replace drainage facilities and upgrade/replace various electrical systems, including traffic signals, traffic loop detectors, push buttons and pedestrian crossing signals.
