The 04-3Y730 ALA-VAR Wrong Way Improvement project is a safety improvement initiative managed by Caltrans District 4 in Oakland, Alameda County. The project focuses on enhancing visibility and drivability at off-ramps along State Route 13, State Route 24, Interstate 580, and Interstate 880. Key deliverables include the installation of red pavement markers, the addition of new wrong-way signs, and the replacement of damaged existing signage. Additionally, the scope includes upgrading street lighting at the West Bound I-580 and MacArthur Boulevard off-ramp terminus. The project is categorized under SHOPP 201.010 and is associated with Federal Aid Number 0423000300. It has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review under both CEQA and NEPA, with no significant environmental impacts identified. To protect nesting birds, construction activities are restricted and will not occur from February 1 to September 30 to the maximum extent practicable. Administrative oversight is provided by Environmental Planner Marisol Castro and Construction Liaison Oren Nardi.
