Alpine County SR 89 Fence Project

The California Department of Transportation, through District 10 in Stockton, is planning to replace deteriorated fencing along the northbound side of State Route 89 in Alpine County, between Post Mile 15.3 and Post Mile 20.1, stretching from Alpine Village to Markleeville. The existing barbed wire and wire mesh fencing will be removed and replaced while preserving wooden posts to maintain the scenic character of this designated route, ensuring aesthetic continuity with the surrounding landscape. The project aims to reestablish proper access control and clearly define the state’s right-of-way boundaries, addressing safety and jurisdictional concerns tied to the aging infrastructure. The contracting entity is Caltrans, with Laura Cook, Senior Environmental Scientist (Supervisory), serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The project is forecasted for release on August 3, 2026, and will be performed within the established zip code 96120 in California. No set-aside preferences or NAICS codes have been specified, and no solicitation number has been assigned as of now. All work will adhere to environmental and scenic preservation standards, reflecting the agency’s commitment to balancing infrastructure needs with regional aesthetic values.
