County Radio Tower Access Road Regrading

The San Bernardino County Department of Public Works, acting on behalf of the Innovation and Technology Department, plans to repair a deteriorated unpaved access road that leads to a remote communications tower near Fontana, California. The road has been severely damaged by erosion, resulting in deep ruts and washouts that have rendered it impassable. The project will involve grading and reshaping the existing road surface within its current footprint, filling rutted areas and washouts with available onsite material where possible and supplementing with clean fill when necessary. An existing pipe gate will be temporarily removed and reinstalled, and a new drainage swale will be constructed to restore proper water runoff and prevent future degradation. All work will strictly adhere to the existing roadway alignment with no expansion or change in the road’s purpose or use. Construction will utilize standard earthmoving equipment including a grader, loader, dump trucks, and a water truck for dust suppression. During operations, temporary traffic control and public safety measures will be implemented to protect workers and the public. The project requires authorization from the City of Fontana to proceed, as the road segment falls under its jurisdiction. The work is forecasted to be initiated following the posting date of July 13, 2026, and inquiries may be directed to Zachariah Smith or Arlene B. Chun of the County’s Public Works Department for further details. No environmental permits are anticipated beyond routine compliance with local regulations.
