Rockslide Repair

The State of California, through Caltrans District 6, has initiated a project to stabilize a hazardous rock face along State Route 168 at post mile 30.59 near Fresno, where temperature-induced stress has caused cracking and risk of rock fall into the westbound lane. Geotechnical assessments have identified the need to install four bonded rock anchors penetrat­ing 9 to 12 feet deep into the unstable rock formation to secure the vulnerable segment to the underlying stable bedrock, thereby mitigating the danger of falling debris. This effort is critical to ensuring the safety and continuity of SR 168, a key transportation corridor under state management. The project, titled Rockslide Repair, was posted as a forecast on June 19, 2026, with no solicitation number yet assigned, indicating it is in the planning phase prior to formal bidding. Primary contact for inquiries is Shane Gunn, Senior Environmental Scientist, reachable via email and phone provided. The work will be performed within Fresno County, California, with all activities funded by state resources. While no specific contracting restrictions or set-asides are listed, the initiative aligns with broader Caltrans infrastructure safety objectives and is tracked through the CEQA Net system under project identifier 2026060915.
