Document Description
Caltrans proposes a Geotechnical drilling project in support of the Ridgewood Grade Safety Project, located between PM 39.8 and PM 40.4 on US Highway 101 in Mendocino County, approximately 6 miles south of the City of Willits. The Ridgewood Grade Safety project would increase inside and outside shoulder widths on both sides of US 101, and require roadway excavation, construction of a Mechanically Stabilized Embankment Wall (MSEW), and construction of new roadway structural section. This MSEW requires collection of subsurface data that is necessary in the preparation of geotechnical recommendations and construction procedures.
