Document Description
Caltrans proposes a ramp meter life cycle reset project at three (3) locations along SR 163 in San Diego, CA. The existing ramp metering has reached the end of its life cycle, and the components are deemed necessary to be replaced to reset its life cycle and to comply with SB-1 mandate. The ramp metering work activities include replacing the existing cabinets, cables, internal equipment, and loops on pavement (2.5” saw cut on pavement). The location of the cabinets is identified on the attached Title Sheet, Page ET-1 with the GPS coordinates and location description. No trenching or any underground work is anticipated for this project. Minimal soil disturbance is anticipated when installing the foundation for the controller cabinet. All work will occur within State right-of-way.
