Title

Merced Pavement Anchor Project

Description

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to perform roadway improvements along State Route 59 between post mile R0.0 and post mile R12.1 in Merced County. The existing pavement has deteriorated, resulting in poor ride quality and requiring elevated maintenance efforts. A cold plane and overlay strategy would be used to preserve the pavement. The scope of work for the project would include repairing and replacing the existing pavement and replacing identified damaged culverts and end treatments. There are four bridges within the project area. Three of the bridges—Owens Creek Bridge, Miles Creek Bridge, and Deadman Creek Bridge—would require barrier and block extensions, replacement of existing metal beam guardrails to the Midwest Guardrail System, and replacement of nonstandard end treatments and terminal systems. The fourth bridge, Mariposa Creek Bridge, would be removed and replaced with a higher bridge to eliminate the continuous flooding that occurs at this location. Caltrans has identified six locations where utility poles would need to be relocated.
