Yolo-16 Safety Improvements

DESCRIPTION

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is proposing a safety improvement project at three separate locations on State Route 16 in Yolo County between the I-505 interchange and Brooks. The project proposes to widen shoulders to 8 feet and provide a 20 foot clear recovery zone (which includes the shoulder) at all three locations. In addition the project would add a left turn pocket at location 1, straighten horizontal curves at locations 1 & 2, add a two-way-left-turn lane for a portion of location 3 (Madison to I-505), add traffic signals or roundabouts within location 3, and potentially relocate the Madison Migrant Center driveway. The locations are as follows (limits are approximate):

Location 1 - County Road (Co Rd) 79 (From 0.35 mile west to 0.40 mile east of Co Rd 79).
Location 2 - West of Co Rd 82B (From 0.34 mile west to 200 feet west of Co Rd 82B).
Location 3 - Esparto to I-505 (From 350 feet west of Co Rd 21A to South Fork Willow Slough).
