Fix 5 Cascade Gateway Project/Cascade SHOPP Project

The Fix 5 Cascade Gateway and Cascade SHOPP projects, managed by Caltrans District 2 in Redding, involve comprehensive infrastructure improvements on Interstate 5 within Shasta and Tehama Counties. The Fix 5 Cascade Gateway Project focuses on capacity and technology enhancements, including the construction and extension of auxiliary lanes, bridge widening with rail upgrades, the installation of a median barrier, and the development of a managed lane for part-time truck operations. This component also includes paving, the installation of a vehicle charging facility, and upgrades to drainage, signage, and intelligent transportation and transportation management systems. The Cascade SHOPP Project emphasizes maintenance and safety by improving pavement quality, upgrading bridge rails and in-fill walls, and increasing vertical clearance at two structures. It also involves upgrading signs, lighting, drainage facilities, and the installation of median barriers and transportation management systems to reduce maintenance efforts and minimize field exposure to traffic. The project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Addendum confirming no significant environmental effects. This forecast project is categorized under NAICS code 237310 and is overseen by the California Transportation Commission.
