State Route 46 Semitropic CAPM
Project Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to resurface the existing pavement (Capital Preventive Maintenance [CAPM]) on State Route 46 (Semitropic) from 0.35 mile east of the West Side Canal to 1.0 mile west of Scofield Avenue, near the City of Wasco in Kern County.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to preserve and extend the service life of the existing pavement on State Route 46 to protect the state's investment in the facility, improve overall ride quality, and minimize future maintenance needs.
Need
The pavement on State Route 46 within the project limits has deteriorated, resulting in poor ride quality and requiring elevated maintenance efforts and costs. There is also a need to replace obsolete changeable message sign elements, construct a maintenance vehicle pullout, upgrade existing guardrails, and replace the roadway signs to comply with Federal Highway Administration standards.
