Vasco road from 300 feet south of dalton AVE to dalton AVE. Placed sandbags to reroute stormwater away from washout area and delineated traffic to PR

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $142,898.30 to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on June 26, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to address infrastructure damage on Vasco Road in California. The project focused on emergency stabilization and repair of a road washout located 300 feet south of Dalton Avenue to Dalton Avenue. Primary deliverables included installation of sandbags to redirect stormwater flow away from the affected area, delineation of traffic patterns to prevent vehicles from traversing undermined road sections, placement of imported soil and riprap for erosion control, installation of drainage pipe infrastructure, and application of erosion control materials to stabilize the damaged corridor.

Additional project work encompassed core drilling of the roadway surface, formwork setup, and grouting of undermined portions to restore structural integrity, followed by light grading to prepare the surface. These services represent typical emergency relief and infrastructure preservation activities supported under the Highway Planning and Construction program, which authorizes federal funding for highway construction, preservation, and improvement projects across the United States. The work was performed in California and addresses the critical need to restore safe transportation corridors following localized infrastructure failure.

Project description
