The purpose of the project is to address safety concerns and improve access to recreational opportunities at Blue Lake by rehabilitating two sections of rockfall hazards on CR 64, 6.6 miles of CR 258, and 1.5 miles of Campground Road. The two locations along CR 64 that pose rockfall and slope failure hazards are located 4.6 miles east of the town of Likely, California, and about 3.4 miles farther east. Rehabilitation of CR 258 is from the intersection of CR 64 near the Pit River bridge and extends 6.6 miles to Campground Road, and then another 1.5 miles southwest to the campground loop at Blue Lake. The project includes roadway rehabilitation (pulverizing and asphalt surfacing), two short segments of reconstruction, rockfall hazard mitigation, and drainage improvements. Roadway improvements will maintain the current width of 20' and 22' feet on CR 258 and CR 64 in the rockfall areas and preserve the existing width on Campground Road. Work will stay within the current road prism and maintained roadside ditch, except where guardrail and culverts need replacement. The project also includes minor horizontal alignment and profile adjustments, mitigating rockfall hazards, installing guardrail, roadway subexcavation, replacing culverts, reconditioning ditches, installing erosion control, installing signs, and applying pavement markings.
