Tulare 99 Culvert Rehabilitation
Project Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to repair or replace 80 culverts at various locations along State Route 99 from 0.8 mile north of the Avenue 152 Overcrossing to 0.7 mile south of Mendocino Avenue.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to maximize the service life of drainage elements by rehabilitating and upgrading existing drainage facilities at various locations within the project limits.
Need
Culverts on this section of State Route 99 are perforated and heavily rusted. They have damaged end treatments and joint separations and need sediment/debris removal. The project is needed to avoid possible future flooding damage and resulting pavement failure caused by blocked and defective culverts.
