North Avenue 66-inch Trunk Sewer Main

The North Avenue 66-inch Trunk Sewer Main project is a forecast utility installation in Fresno, California, managed by Caltrans District 6. The project involves the construction of a 66-inch trunk sewer across State Route 99 along the north side of North Avenue. Within the State Route 99 right-of-way, the sewer will be installed inside an 84-inch steel casing pipe using the bore and jack method. This installation spans from the west side of the southbound off-ramp, beneath the southbound and northbound mainline travel lanes and the northbound on-ramp, and terminates east of the northbound on-ramp. Outside the State Route 99 right-of-way, the trunk sewer will be constructed using 66-inch fiberglass reinforced polymer mortar pipe. This is an oversight project where the City of Fresno has applied for an encroachment permit to perform work within the Caltrans right-of-way. The project is classified under NAICS code 237110 and has been granted a categorical exemption under 15303, Class 3, as it involves installing utility infrastructure within an existing state highway right-of-way. John Thomas serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
