\"\"May 2020 Part III:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Added historical information and naming pictures to the following routes, my research(1)<\/sup>\u00a0and information from Corco(2)<\/sup>, Denis Wolcott\/Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project(1)<\/sup>:\u00a0I-710<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, I-880<\/a>(2)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Joel Windmiller has been posting historical information about route adoptions to the\u00a0California’s Historic Highways<\/a>\u00a0group on Facebook. With his permission, I’ve started grabbing that information and incorporating on the corresponding pages for the current highways. This resulted in changes to the following routes:\u00a0\u00a0I-5<\/a>, US\u00a040<\/a>, US\u00a050<\/a>, Route\u00a065<\/a>, Route\u00a070<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a089<\/a>, Route\u00a099<\/a>, Route\u00a0113<\/a>, Route\u00a0244<\/a>,\u00a0I-680<\/a>, I-780<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Worked my way through\u00a0the 2020 SHOPP<\/a>\u00a0adopted at the May 2020 CTC Meeting.\u00a0The State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP)<\/a>\u00a0is the State Highway System\u2019s \u201cfix-it-first\u201d program that funds the repair and preservation, emergency repairs, safety improvements, and some highway operational improvements on the State Highway System (SHS). By continuously repairing and rehabilitating the SHS, the SHOPP protects the enormous investment that has been made over many decades to create and manage the approximately 50,000 lane-mile SHS. Much of what is in the SHOPP is significant work, but not at the level of interest that impacts these pages. For example, SHOPP funding that simply rehabilitates existing roadways, improves drainage, fixes landscaping, repairs storm damage, adds ADA cutouts, and such does not make a long-term historical impact on a route, or make changes that sometime in future years might be curious about. Some other SHOPP changes, however, are of interest: new roundabouts, potentially rumble strips, realigning a roadway for safety, replacing a bridge — all can impact the pages. All projects\u00a0 funded by the SHOPP are limited to capital improvements that do not add\u00a0 capacity (no new highway lanes) to the SHS, though some new auxiliary lanes are\u00a0 eligible for SHOPP funding. The SHOPP portfolio of projects is updated every two years, carrying forward\u00a0 projects programmed in the last two years of the preceding SHOPP and making those last two years of projects the first two years of projects in the new SHOPP. There are also “long lead” SHOPP projects, which require more than four years to develop due to complex environmental and preliminary engineering work. The 2020 SHOPP contains 40 Long Lead projects, valued at $2.93 billion. These projects are authorized to start work on the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase. Separate authorization addresses the construction phase. Projects are generally divided into nine broad categories: Major Damage Restoration, Collision Reduction, Mandates (such as reserves for relinquishment), Bridge Preservation, Roadway Preservation, Mobility, Roadside Preservation, Facilities, and Multiple Objective.<\/p>\n

Contrast the SHOPP with\u00a0the STIP<\/a>, which was incorporated in the main May updates. The STIP is a multi-year capital improvement program of transportation projects on and off the State Highway System, funded with revenues from the Transportation Investment Fund and other funding sources. STIP programming generally occurs every two years. With respect to highways, the STIP has two types of projects.\u00a0Capacity Increasing Highway Operational Improvements<\/strong>, which are improvements that expand the design capacity of the system, and thus are not eligible for SHOPP funding. If regional, they are nominated by the regional agency; if statewide, Caltrans nominates them.\u00a0 Examples of such projects would be HOV lanes and interchanges, interchange design modifications and upgrades to accommodate traffic volumes that are significantly larger than the original design capability of the existing facility, or truck or slow vehicle lanes on freeways with six or more lanes. There are also\u00a0non-capacity improvements<\/strong>\u00a0that could be funded through the SHOPP, but which can be implemented faster through the STIP.<\/p>\n

My review of the adopted SHOPP resulted in updates to the following routes:\u00a0Route\u00a01<\/a>, Route\u00a03<\/a>, Route\u00a04<\/a>, I-5<\/a>, Route\u00a09<\/a>, I-10<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a012<\/a>, Route\u00a013<\/a>, I-15<\/a>, Route\u00a017<\/a>, Route\u00a020<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a022<\/a>, Route\u00a025<\/a>, Route\u00a026<\/a>, Route\u00a029<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a033<\/a>, Route\u00a035<\/a>, Route\u00a036<\/a>, Route\u00a037<\/a>, Route\u00a039<\/a>,\u00a0I-40<\/a>, Route\u00a041<\/a>, Route\u00a043<\/a>, Route\u00a049<\/a>, US\u00a050<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a051<\/a>, Route\u00a052<\/a>, Route\u00a059<\/a>, Route\u00a068<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a070<\/a>, Route\u00a074<\/a>, Route\u00a079<\/a>, I-80<\/a>, Route\u00a082<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a084<\/a>, Route\u00a088<\/a>, Route\u00a096<\/a>, Route\u00a099<\/a>, US\u00a0101<\/a>,\u00a0I-105<\/a>, Route\u00a0110<\/a>, Route\u00a0120<\/a>, Route\u00a0121<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a0128<\/a>, Route\u00a0133<\/a>, Route\u00a0138<\/a>, Route\u00a0140<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a0145<\/a>, Route\u00a0154<\/a>, Route\u00a0162<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a0165<\/a>, Route\u00a0175<\/a>, Route\u00a0180<\/a>, Route\u00a0184<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a0190<\/a>, I-215<\/a>, Route\u00a0217<\/a>, Route\u00a0223<\/a>,\u00a0Route\u00a0237<\/a>, Route\u00a0245<\/a>, Route\u00a0299<\/a>, US\u00a0395<\/a>,\u00a0I-405<\/a>, I-580<\/a>, I-710<\/a>.\u00a0The Route\u00a039<\/a>\u00a0item is particularly amazing: a Long-Lead item “Near Falling Springs, from 1.8 miles north of Crystal Lake Road to Route\u00a02<\/a>. Rehabilitate and reopen a 4.4 mile segment of Route\u00a039<\/a>.” Who woulda thunk, right? Even more amazing is the schedule: it is programmed in FY26-27, with construction scheduled to start May 2027.<\/p>\n
