Poison Lake Shalas Combine Project on State Route 44 in Lassen County

ongoing

The Poison Lake Shalas Combine project in Lassen County is on State Route (SR) 44 about nine miles east of Old Station from the Shasta County line to SR 36. The purpose of the project is to restore the facility to a state of good repair such that the roadway will be in a condition requiring minimal maintenance, and to improve safety/ roadway geometrics. This project will realign the existing highway to improve geometrics, superelevation, and increase the clear recovery zone for vehicles. This project includes earthwork, paving and drainage improvements. The project also includes a Capital Preventative Maintenance (CAPM) pavement strategy on SR 44 from postmile 0.0 to 37.2. The scope of the project includes 0.2’ overlay through the length of the project, paving of four maintenance vehicle pullouts, reconstruction of railroad approaches, replacing 16 drainage systems, upgrading guardrail, installing 45 guide signs, and replacing Census Elements while upgrading and relocating CCTV.
