BISHOP – Caltrans released a video Friday afternoon providing the public with an update on the Keene Pavement Project. The project—which is currently in the design phase—will rehabilitate the travel lanes, shoulders, and center median of State Route 58 between Bealville Road and two miles west of Tucker Road (State Route 202) in eastern Kern County. It will also add a 3.5-mile-long eastbound truck-climbing lane just east of State Route 223. The video details the current status of the project, gives information on a recent traffic study, and provides a timeline of when the project is expected to go into construction.
