Project Description:

Caltrans developed this project through the Two- and Three-Lane Highway Monitoring Program to implement cost effective safety improvements from 0.6 mile north of North Haiwee Road to 2.5 miles south of Ash Creek Road - the remaining section of two-lane highway. The project will make improvements to the two-lane highway until the ultimate facility, four-lanes (Olancha/ Cartago Four-Lane), can be realized.

The project includes widening the existing four-foot shoulders to eight-feet, placing rumble strips along each shoulder, and placing rumble strip along the centerline in locations where the highway is striped as no passing.
