I-15 Roadside Rehabilitation by Repairing/Replacing Highway Planting and Irrigation Systems

The project proposes to provide roadside rehabilitation by repairing/replacing highway planting and irrigation systems damaged by weather or deterioration, installing a maintenance access path, and replacing the damaged maintenance access gate. If any dead or diseased trees are encountered, they will be removed. Replacement planting will consist of strategies that enhance traveler and worker safety by reducing the frequency and duration of maintenance workers' exposure to traffic, utilizing recycled water where available, and providing suitable erosion control along I-15. All the work will be done within Caltrans/Public Right of Way. Construction of access roads, ground disturbance, and vegetation removal will occur. There will also be no need for equipment staging areas, and no utility relocations or connections to new infrastructure are anticipated. This project is funded by State-only funding.
