Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to construct an access-controlled section of highway on new alignment in and near the City of Dorris, Siskiyou County. It will conform to the existing two-lane conventional highway alignment near the northern and southern ends of town.
The purpose of the project is to upgrade this section of Route 97 to current highway design standards and to improve safety for the general public. The existing route has nonstandard geometrics, including three 15-mph curves on the main street through town and the nonstandard curve alignment on the butte north of town (Dorris Hill).
