Document Description
Caltrans proposes to extend existing truck climbing lane in Placer County, beyond the Yuba Gap Bridge, on I-80 east between PM 58.37 and 59.4 within the median to reduce accidents resulting from slow-moving trucks merging with mainline traffic when truck-climbing lane ends. Add ramp lighting at Eastbound and Westbound traffic, entrance and exit ramps. Extend culvert at PM 58.7. New electrical roadsign for exit.
