Wildlife Undercrossing and Fencing
Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to repair/replace wildlife fencing, place rock slope protection to stabilize failing embankments, and a repair a damaged wildlife undercrossing located on State Route 89 in Sierra County from Post Miles 0.550 to 5.110. The purpose of the project is to permanently restore the wildlife undercrossing and fencing to establish functionality and prevent future failure. Heavy snowfall in winter and spring of 2019 and the eventual melting of the snow in May caused erosion around the wildlife undercrossing and fencing. Repairs are needed to address the damage and create a permanent drainage channel to prevent future erosion/ corrosion issues, which could potentially lead to roadway failure.
