The County of Santa Cruz Department of Public Works (County), in conjunction with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), intends to repair storm damage to Valencia Road at Post Mile 0.34. In January 2017, a slide on the north side of the road covered a drainage inlet which caused the storm water to cross the roadway and wash out a 60-ft by 12-ft wide section of roadway and embankment. Emergency Opening (EO) repairs consisted of tarping the washout, and placing barricades and warning signs at the damaged site. The site is eligible for FHWA Emergency Repair funds. Proposed permanent repairs include installation of a retaining wall or flexible wall downslope of the road, drainage improvements, roadway reconstruction, erosion control, and revegetation. Three trees along the roadside may need to be removed to accommodate the repair work. All repair work will be performed from the existing roadway within the County right-of-way. Construction for the Project is planned for construction in spring/summer 2019 and is estimated to take one season to complete.
