Caltrans proposes to widen US Route 95 from MIlepost (PM) 40 to PM 40.4 to approximately 20 feet from the centerline and install gound-in rumble strips along the centerline and outside shoulders of the highway. Work includes roadway excavation, cleaning and grubbing, and pavement marking. Before construction starts, desert tortoise fence shall be placed approximately 45 feet from the centerline and 10 feet inside the right of way (ROW) line. The area from the exisitng shoulder to the proposed cut and fill line was considered permanent impact due to slope recontouring.
