On SR 43 the project commencement begins west and south of Shafter, while work on SR 46 begins just west of Lost Hills between PM 20.0 and west of Blackwell’s Corner (SR 33) and PM 27.5 at Holloway Road in Kern County.

Failed pavement will be cold-planed to a depth of 0.25-feet and replaced with 0.25-feet of hot mixed asphalt. Traffic striping will be removed and replaced with pavement markers. Sign panels will be replaced utilizing existing posts. There will be no work off pavement and no ground or vegetation disturbance is anticipated.
