Project Description 

The City’s Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) has identified 9 locations for guardrail replacement based on existing condition of the guardrails, number of collisions, high speeds and horizontal and/or vertical curves. At these  locations  the existing guardrails have separated from the anchor posts, been struck by vehicles, wooden anchor posts have deteriorated (wood rot) due to age and exposure to elements or are no longer vertically upright. 

The Guard Rail Repairs Project will replace 1,900 ft of the existing guardrails at these 9 locations  per most current Caltrans standards. The new guardrails in residential areas will be coated with rustic brown color for better blending into the surrounding environment. In addition, the project will replace 200 guardrail wood posts that have been damaged during the Woolsey fire at Olsen Road.
