Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) propose to upgrade a portion of the interregional transportation facility (State Route 49) in Nevada County from Ponderosa Way to north of Lode Line Way near Grass Valley to accomplish the following objectives: (1) improve safety by restricting access to State Route (SR) 49 through the elimination of driveways, (2) correct roadway deficiencies within the project limits by bringing SR-49 up to current design standards, and (3) accommodate existing and projected future traffic volumes at a level of service (LOS) D or better through the year 2025. Construction activities will consist of widening the existing roadway from two lanes to four lanes with a continuous median/left turn lane, realign the horizontal alignment, removal of at-grade intersections, construction of a frontage road system to funnel traffic from existing at-grade intersections and private driveways to new signalized intersection (La Barr Meadows and SR-49), and concrete barriers between the SR-49 and the new frontage road system.
