Railroad canyon road from summerhill drive/grape street to eastern city boundary relocate utility poles and install guardrails near church RD. Instal

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $350,000 to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 28, 2025, for roadway safety and infrastructure improvements on Railroad Canyon Road in California. The project encompasses relocation of utility poles, installation of guardrails near Church Road, implementation of high-friction surface treatment, installation of LED/flashing beacon chevron signs and curve-ahead warning signage, placement of additional reflectors along curved segments, and signal hardware upgrades with signal timing improvements. Work is scheduled for completion by December 30, 2027.

These improvements address highway safety objectives by enhancing driver visibility, reducing accident risk in curved segments, and modernizing traffic signal infrastructure on the designated corridor from Summerhill Drive/Grape Street to the eastern city boundary. The project represents a typical application of FHWA Highway Planning and Construction formula grant funding, which supports state departments of transportation in implementing safety enhancements and infrastructure preservation activities on eligible roadways.
