North Nojoqui Grade CAPM & Drainage Project
Project Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to rehabilitate 14.41 lane miles of existing pavement, replace asphalt concrete dikes, reconstruct existing guardrails, upgrade guardrail connections to bridge railing, improve five drainage systems, and repair a failing slope on U.S. Route 101 between 0.4 mile south of Santa Rosa Road and 0.1 mile north of Nojoqui Creek near Buellton in Santa Barbara County.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to preserve and extend the service life of existing pavement, protect the embankments and roadway from potential failure, and maintain the functionality of five drainage systems on U.S. Route 101 from post miles R52.34 to R56.09 in Santa Barbara County.
Need
The pavement within the project limits is deteriorating, which, if left uncorrected, will continue and result in increased maintenance costs or more costly reconstruction. Corrosion and scouring have led to damaged inverts, shape loss, joint separation, and undermined backfill in five culverts identified within the project limits. If culvert deterioration is not corrected, future roadway failure is possible. Also, a sakrete (concrete mix) wall retaining the southbound embankment slope is deteriorating and, if not repaired, could lead to slope failure.
