Bridge Preventative Maintenance Project on I-5

The Bridge Preventative Maintenance Project on I-5 is a forecast project managed by Caltrans District 11 in San Diego County, identified by EA 11-2N237 and PID 1124000370. The project scope involves essential maintenance and repair of existing structures from Santa Fe Drive UC to San Mateo Creek Bridge, specifically covering the area from postmile R40.6 to R72.0. Key activities include replacing joint seals, repairing concrete spalls, and applying polyester overlay or methacrylate to various bridge decks and approach slabs. The work will utilize construction equipment such as excavators with break hoes, dump trucks, concrete trucks, portable generators, and walk-behind compactors, and will involve cutting and drilling operations within pavement structural sections. The project is located across the cities of Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and San Clemente. It has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA statute 15301 and a categorical exclusion under NEPA regulations, as the work consists of maintenance and repair with no significant environmental impacts anticipated. Administrative oversight is provided by Project Manager Christopher Semaan and Environmental Scientist Petra Samira El Shammas. While the project is classified under NAICS code 237310, specific pricing, contract value, and performance periods are not provided in the current documentation.
