State Route 154 Drainage Rehabilitation Project

Project Description

Caltrans proposes to rehabilitate existing drainage system structures (culverts), add traffic management systems, and repair pavement along State Route 154 in Santa Barbara County. The project would repair or replace multiple drainage systems at various locations along State Route 154 to improve drainage functionality and longevity as well as protect the roadway and embankments from potential culvert failure. The existing culvert condition, location and surrounding terrain will determine the appropriate method for repair or replacement at each spot. New traffic management systems would be installed within the state right-of-way to improve traffic monitoring and information. And, the existing pavement at the Rancho Cielo Vista Point would be restored to address issues of wear and deterioration.

 

Project Benefits

Purpose

The purpose of the project is to improve assets in poor condition by restoring damaged culverts, improving traffic monitoring, and extending the service life of existing pavement. 

Need

Drainage system reports produced by the Caltrans Culvert Inspection Program recommend the repair or replacement of damaged culverts that are in poor condition due to corrosion, deformation, or perforation, or that are in an overall state of deterioration having the potential to result in roadway or embankment failure. Existing traffic management systems need improving, requiring the installation of additional traffic management systems to better collect traffic data and provide traffic information to the public. The existing pavement at the Rancho Cielo Vista Point is exhibiting severe wear and distress and, if left uncorrected, will continue to deteriorate.

Estimated Funding Breakdown

Estimates are as of October 2022
