Connect Traffic Management Systems to Fiber

Caltrans District 8 is seeking to implement the Connect Traffic Management Systems to Fiber project in San Bernardino County, specifically within the City of Barstow. The project focuses on connecting existing Transportation Management Systems elements to fiber optic communication systems on Route 58, Postmile R0.00/R33.00, and Route 395, Postmile 45.8/47.3, at various locations between the San Bernardino County Line and I-15. The primary objective is to establish a reliable communication link to the District Transportation Management Center, which will restore full functionality to critical elements such as Closed Circuit Television cameras and Changeable Message Signs. All work will be performed within the State Right of Way and is classified as the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public structures without expanding their use. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237130 and has been granted a Notice of Exemption under Class 1(d). Administrative oversight is managed by Malisa Lieng, Senior Environmental Planner.
