Bottle Rock Safety Project

The Bottle Rock Safety Project is a forecast infrastructure initiative managed by Caltrans District 1 in Eureka, located in Lake County along State Route 29 between post miles 31.4 and 33.7. The project scope extends from one mile south of Bottle Rock Road to 0.7 miles north of Cole Creek Road. Primary objectives focus on safety enhancements, including widening existing shoulders from four feet to six feet, establishing a four-foot median through cut and fill operations, and constructing a left turn channelization lane at Bottle Rock Road. Additional safety installations include centerline and shoulder rumble strips, the upgrade of Metal Beam Guard Rail to the Midwest Guardrail System, the extension of sixteen culverts, and the replacement of one driveway culvert. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is categorized as exempt under the Existing Facilities 15301 Class due to the nature of the improvements to existing highways. Environmental coordination is led by Elanah Riley. While the project was posted as a forecast on July 14, 2026, and a Notice of Exemption was signed on July 13, 2026, specific contract values, payment terms, and performance periods have not yet been defined in the available documentation.
