Contreras Road and Johnson Road Resurfacing Project

The Contreras Road and Johnson Road Resurfacing Project, identified as Project No. D1-0064 and Work Order D10064C Task Code Z1530, is managed by the County of Riverside Transportation Department. Located in the Community of Anza, California, the project involves resurfacing approximately 0.75 miles of Contreras Road, a two-lane facility ranging from 24 to 57 feet wide, and 0.50 miles of Johnson Road, a two-lane facility ranging from 16 to 23 feet wide. The scope of work includes adjusting utility manholes, grading shoulders, reconstructing asphalt concrete dikes, reapplying pavement striping, and the removal and installation of various signs. No additional right of way or temporary construction easements are required for these improvements. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15301(c) as it does not expand the use of the roadways or add lanes. Environmental compliance is mandatory, requiring adherence to the Western Riverside Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan Best Management Practices. Specific requirements include a preconstruction survey of road shoulders by a County Biologist before grading and a preconstruction nesting survey pursuant to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act if vegetation removal occurs between February 1 and August 31. Administrative oversight is handled by the County of Riverside, with Jan Bulinski serving as the Environmental Project Manager and Don Copeland as a primary point of contact.
