Project Stanislaus National Forest Pavement Patching

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

This project will repair paved roads on the Stanislaus National Forest. The following work will be performed at the identified sites – marking of pavement for repair, pavement patching, including saw cutting, repair, and filling of potholes. The contractor will be required to perform traffic control; the maximum permitted delay is 30 minutes.

2.0 Background

During the Winter and Spring of 2023, the Stanislaus National Forest sustained damage across forest roads.

Many roads saw damage through storm driven erosive forces, as well as freeze-thaw cycles. Road damage was identified as being eligible for funding through the American Relief Act (ARA) of 2025, which provides financial support for disaster recovery. Work to repair these roads supports access and connectivity across the Forest.

Additional funding sources are also used, such as Haul funds to support road repairs on identified haul routes.

3.0 Location

This project is located on the Stanislaus National Forest, within Alpine County, Calaveras County, and Tuolumne County, California. See route list below. Other seasonal use restrictions may be in place, refer to STF Forest Orders for the most up-to-date information.
