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 in Placer County. Located on Interstate 80 between post miles 41.8 and 42.0, the project focuses on improving existing facilities without expanding their current use. The scope of work includes grinding, cold planning, and overlaying the pavement for the on-ramp, off-ramp, and parking lot, as well as implementing improvements to the existing drainage systems of the area. This project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237310 and is categorically exempt under CEQA Class I for existing facilities. Administrative oversight is managed by Caltrans District 3, with primary points of contact including Jordan Schmidt, Associate Environmental Planner, and Erin Damm, Senior Environmental Branch Chief. The project was formally noted via a Notice of Exemption dated August 26, 2026.
