Projects Will Rehabilitate Pavement, Improve Mobility and Replace Aging Infrastructure 
 
PLACER/NEVADA COUNTIES – Caltrans is currently seeking public feedback on two proposed Interstate 80 (I-80) improvement projects in Placer and Nevada counties.
 
A $101.8 million project proposes to replace and widen the Yuba Pass Separation Overhead (SOH) bridges near the State Route 20 separation in Nevada County. The project would improve freight efficiency along I-80 by increasing the load carrying capacity and address structural deficiencies that necessitate bridge replacement: concrete cracking and spalling, high corrosive chloride content, superstructure repainting, bridge deck concrete degradation, and weight-bearing pad failures.

A second $85.2 million project proposes to rehabilitate a portion of I-80 in both Placer and Nevada counties, from just west of the Troy Road undercrossing to just east of the Soda Springs overcrossing. This project would repair distressed pavement and bridge decks on the existing eastbound and westbound lanes and shoulders, construct an eastbound truck climbing lane, and widen and replace the eastbound Troy Road and Kingvale undercrossings. Existing culverts will be repaired, replaced, or extended as needed. Detector loops on the mainline as well as existing overhead sign structures and sign panels will be replaced.

The draft environmental documents for both projects are currently available for review and public comment fromJan. 3, 2022 to Feb. 1, 2022. The documents may be viewed at the following locations:
 
  • Caltrans District 3
703 B Street
