Document Description
Caltrans is proposing a safety project to improve an existing, non-standard compound curve on State Route (SR) 101 from post mile (PM) 125.20 to 125.62 north of the town of Orick in Humboldt County. The scope of work consists of a superelevation improvement, minor shoulder widening on the north bound (NB) and south bound (SB) shoulders, drainage work on five existing culvert systems and construction of one new system, minor vegetation removal, traffic control via a temporary traffic signal, installation of erosion control and treatment best management practices (TBMPs) and landscaping. The purpose of the project is to improve the non-standard compound curve primarily through superelevation and shoulder widening. The
project is needed in order to reduce the frequency and severity of traffic collisions at this location, which experiences a higher rate of collisions than the statewide average. Federal and state funds will be used. All work will be within temporary construction easements (TCE) and Caltrans right of way (ROW).
