The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $114,683.65 to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on June 25, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund culvert replacement infrastructure in El Dorado County. The project involved the excavation and removal of an existing 48-foot corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert located on La Trobe Road near Cothrin Road, followed by installation of two new 48-foot high-density polyethylene (HDPE) culverts across a 14-foot-wide trench. The work included backfilling with concrete and final paving to complete the roadway restoration.

This project represents a typical infrastructure preservation activity supported under the Highway Planning and Construction program, which provides federal assistance to state departments of transportation for highway-related improvements including bridge and culvert rehabilitation, safety enhancements, and roadway resurfacing. The culvert replacement enhances drainage infrastructure and supports long-term road functionality and safety on the affected county roadway.
