BUT 162 Roadway Damage (EA 03-2N090)

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 3 is forecasting a project to repair roadway damage on State Route 162 in Butte County, specifically from post mile 15.80 to 17.30 in Oroville. The scope of work includes mobilization, cold planing and repaving of asphalt pavement, striping, traffic control, and incidental work. The primary objective is to restore pavement integrity and eliminate unsafe conditions within the existing right-of-way, requiring no additional land acquisition or regulatory permits. The project is identified as EA 03-2N090 (EFIS 0325000240) and has been granted a CEQA Class 1(d) exemption for existing facilities and a NEPA categorical exclusion, as it involves the repair of a damaged roadbed without expanding the facility's use. Key personnel overseeing the project include Project Manager Anthony Thurman and Senior Environmental Planner Lisa Machado. While the project was posted and signed on July 29, 2025, it is currently listed as a forecast; consequently, no formal solicitation number, contract value, or specific performance schedule has been established.
