Scranton Avenue and Indiana Street Widening Project

Scranton Avenue and Indiana Street Widening Project

The project proposes to improve the existing two lane undivided roadway by widening it to a four-lane undivided roadway. The project would create four twelve foot minimum wide lanes and minimum five foot wide shoulders on either side of the roadway, consistent with County and City standards. The net length of the project is approximately 0.5 mile. The corridor improvement would accommodate project traffic counts through 2030. Without additional travel lanes, the level of service (LOS) on the existing roadway is expected to diminish to unacceptable levels. This corridor is a logical connection to the Porterville industrial area for tips headed northbound or southbound on State Route 65. The project should also help to reduce traffic that currently travels northbound on Jaye Street through the residential areas near Montgomery Avenue. In addition, Gibbons Avenue within the City of Porterville is planned to be expanded to four lanes in the near future.
