Sonoma State Route 116 Capital Preventive Maintenance Project

The Sonoma State Route 116 Capital Preventive Maintenance Project, managed by Caltrans District 4, involves comprehensive roadway and infrastructure improvements in Sonoma County. The scope of work covers State Route 116 from Post Mile 7.74 in Monte Rio to Post Mile 25.05 near Sebastopol. Key deliverables include resurfacing the existing roadway, replacing guard rails, repairing or replacing culverts, and installing or replacing streetlights. Additionally, the project focuses on enhancing accessibility and safety by widening narrow shoulders to create Class II bicycle lanes and bicycle pull outs, adding new sidewalks and crosswalks, and upgrading all pedestrian infrastructure to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The project has undergone environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration. This process confirmed that no significant environmental effects are expected, and the California Transportation Commission serves as the approving agency. Administrative oversight is led by Christopher Pincetich, Senior Environmental Scientist and Branch Chief of the Office of Environmental Analysis. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237310 for highway and street construction, with official environmental filing fees processed through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
