Document Description
The proposed safety improvement project would realign the existing curve on State Route 168 to design standards, west of the City of Prather, in Fresno County. The existing curve is a non-standard 35-mile per-hour turn within a 55-mile per-hour highway. The proposed project is 0.4 miles in length. The project would move the right-of-way line about 60 feet north and would acquire about 3.91 acres of additional right-of-way, allowing a section of the mountain slope to be excavated and increasing sight distance for both east and westbound drivers to maintain a speed of 45 miles-per-hour. The proposed design includes 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot wide shoulders, relocating utility poles, and storm drainage improvements.
