Eastbound Gold Run State Safety Rest Area Paving (EA 03-2N660)

The California Department of Transportation District 3 is proposing a highway maintenance project for the eastbound Gold Run State Safety Rest Area located on Interstate 80 in Placer County, specifically between post miles 41.8 and 42.0. The scope of work involves grinding, cold planning, and overlaying the pavement in the existing parking lot as well as the on-ramp and off-ramp areas. Additionally, the project will include improvements to the existing drainage systems within the rest area. This project is classified as a forecast and is categorically exempt under CEQA Class I for existing facilities, as the work focuses on improving current infrastructure without expanding its use. Administrative oversight is provided by Caltrans District 3 in the Marysville/Sacramento area, with primary points of contact including Jordan Schmidt, Associate Environmental Planner, and Erin Damm, Senior Environmental Branch Chief.
