KEYT<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\nVENTURA COUNTY, Calif. — Caltrans will soon begin its slope erosion restoration project in Ventura County.<\/p>\n
The California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans, announced a $51 million project to construct two retaining walls to permanently restore surf eroded slopes on the coast side of Pacific Coast Highway, or PCH\/State Route 1, south of Point Mugu State Park and Sycamore Canyon Road in Ventura County.<\/p>\n
Caltrans says the project area is prone to erosion and needs adequate slope protection.<\/p>\n
Caltrans says the slope has been structurally undermined by severe surf erosion. The erosion caused cracks and displacements of the roadway shoulder.<\/p>\n
The retaining wall at post mile 4.0 is 600 feet long and the second retaining wall at post mile 4.2 is 200 feet long.<\/p>\n
Caltrans construction workers will be drilling holes for ‘cast-in-drilled-holes’ piles to form a wall at the shoulder of the roadway without slope excavation.<\/p>\n
The structural beams will then be inserted in 100-feet deep holes and concrete will be poured in to complete the pile.<\/p>\n
There will also be rock scaling on the hillside along the northbound lanes of PCH from September 20 to October. Workers will remove loose rocks in the area and a steel mesh netting will be attached to the hillside to prevent falling rocks.<\/p>\n
Flatiron Construction-Drill Tech Drilling & Shoring, Inc. will partner with Caltrans for this project.<\/p>\n
The project is set to begin on September 20 and is expected to be completed in spring 2023.<\/p>\n
The 1,000-foot stretch of the right southbound shoulder will be closed.<\/p>\n
The southbound lane of PCH will be a shared roadway with bicyclists.<\/p>\n
The speed limit will be reduced to 25 mph in the work zone area.<\/p>\n
There will also be intermittent lane closures. Caltrans warns that drivers should expect delays.<\/p>\n
Construction will be from Monday through Saturday, day and night as needed.<\/p>\n
