Document Description
Caltrans in cooperation with the City of Visalia is proposing several operational improvements on State Route 198, and State Route 216 in Tulare County.
The operational improvements consist of widening Lovers Lane below the State Route 198 undercrossing between the State Route 198 eastbound on and off ramps and Mineral King Avenue. Additional work also includes improving the following four intersections: Lovers Lane (State Route 216) at Mineral King Avenue, Lovers Lane at State Route 198 on the eastbound on-ramps and off-ramps, Lovers Lane at Noble Avenue and State Route 198 on the westbound on-ramps and off-ramps at Mineral King Avenue.
The project also proposes to extend the life of the existing pavement along State Route 216 (Lovers Lane) by rehabilitating the existing pavement and including all pertinent standards as required by the 3R Program (resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation). State Route 216 (Houston Avenue) between Lovers Lane and McAuliff would be overlayed to extend the service life of the roadway.
