Sierra 89 Curve Correction

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 3 - Marysville/Sacramento, has issued a forecast for the Sierra 89 Curve Correction project located in Sierra County, California. The project scope focuses on improving safety and operational performance on State Route 89 between post mile 6.2 and 6.4. Key engineering activities include realigning the road to create a less severe curve, flattening the superelevation, and widening the roadway by adding 4-foot shoulders. This project is classified as a minor alteration of an existing highway with no expansion of use and is therefore exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Section 15301, Class 1(c). The administrative lead for the project is Environmental Planner Angelica Flores. As this is currently a forecast, there is no assigned solicitation number, specific contract value, or defined period of performance. The project will be performed at the designated site in Sierra County, with Caltrans serving as the responsible party for inspection and acceptance.
