Keough Pavement Project
Project Information
The proposed Keough Pavement Project will reconstruct and rehabilitate almost 49 lane miles of U.S. 395 from State Route 168 E to Warm Springs Road between Bishop and Big Pine in Inyo County.

- Construction of 6-foot bicycle lanes at the intersections of Keough Hot Springs Road and Gerkin Road
- Addition of 3 feet of shoulder backing
- Upgraded traffic signs to current standards
- Replacement and installation of Midwest Guardrail System
