State Route 33 Pavement Rehabilitation Project

 

Project Description

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to restore the pavement on State Route 33 from Merced Avenue to the Los Gatos Creek South Channel Bridge (Post Mile 14.7 to 16.7) and upgrade and modify striping from Enterprise Parkway to Merced Avenue (Post Mile 13.9 to 14.7) in the City of Coalinga, in Fresno County. Rehabilitate pavement, replace signs, and upgrade facilities to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and install Transportation Management System (TMS) elements, construct new sidewalk, curb ramps, high visibility crosswalks, flashing beacons, and Class 2 bike lanes as complete streets elements, and modify center median striping. This project will improve safety and ride quality..

 

 

Project Benefits

Purpose

The purpose of the project is to restore the roadway facility to a state of good repair so that it requires minimal maintenance in the future, improves the ride quality, and extends the service life of the pavement. The purpose is also to incorporate Complete Streets elements, including a road diet (along State Route 33 from 5th Street to Cambridge Avenue), a Class 2 bike lane, and upgrade the non-compliant curb ramps, crosswalks, and sidewalks.

Need

Within the project limits, the existing asphalt concrete pavement has developed significant cracking and rutting. This pavement deterioration results in high maintenance costs and ongoing pavement repair. The project is also needed to upgrade the existing pedestrian facilities, such as sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, and associated crossing devices, to comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act standards and provide a safe and traversable facility to use for mobility.
