Remove and Replace SAFB

The California Department of Transportation, District 6, is executing a project to remove and replace a Safety Roadside Flashing Beacon and its foundation on State Route 99 near Avenue 12 in Madera, California. This work is required because the existing equipment was damaged by a vehicle strike. The scope of work includes the removal and replacement of the SAFB type 9 pole, foundation, conductors, and wiring, with the new installation occurring in the original location. The project will utilize existing pull boxes and must adhere to Caltrans standard practices and environmental commitments. To ensure safety and traffic management, the project will implement portable changeable message signs, construction area and street signs, and the Construction Zone Enhanced Enforcement Program, with the potential use of one way traffic control during the setting of the post. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and has been granted a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, indicating that the work is not expected to have a significant environmental impact. The project was formally documented via a Notice of Exemption dated June 2, 2026.
