Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) issued a Director’s Order for emergency work on State Route (SR) 175 from Post Mile (PM) 20.50-23.00, pertaining to damage caused by a series of storms starting on February 24, 2023. This resulted in heavy runoff from the precipitation and melting snow. Due to over saturation and heavy runoff, a large slip out developed at State Route (SR) 175 in Lake County. At Post Mile (PM) 22.5 a large transverse crack has developed, resulting in a 4–6-inch vertical drop. At PM 21.06, failure of the embankment has caused a 6-8-inch fissure to open between the guardrail barrier mat and the edge of travel way (ETW). The guardrail mat has separated from the pavement and 6-inch vertical drop has developed. The proposed solution is to stabilize the embankment, repair the roadway, and restore the facility back to a safe operating condition. Caltrans will install approximately 25 Cast-In-Drill-Hole (CIDG) piles, repair approximately 100 feet of Metal Beam Guardrail (MBGR), place 400 tons of asphalt, reconstruct roadway, place erosion control and utilize traffic control.
