CA FLAP PLU CR411 (1), Bucks Lake Road

The Bucks Lake Road project is located on FH 119 east of Quincy, CA in the Plumas National Forest in Plumas County.  The project will reconstruct 0.329 miles of asphalt pavement.  Reconstruction consists of removing the existing pavement, realigning the road to accommodate the expanded rock fall ditch, construction of reinforced soil slopes, and new aggregate base and asphalt pavement.

The major work elements include Embankment Construction (Reinforced Soil Slope), Reinforcement Geosynthetic, Roadway Excavation, Roadway Aggregate, Asphalt Concrete Pavement, and guardrail.

There will be up to 15 minute delays during construction.  There will be no road closures.  Weather conditions typically allow construction to commence in mid- to late Spring in order to take advantage of the dry summer construction season. The Notice to Proceed for on-site activity will be issued in Spring, 2017 at the discretion of FHWA-CFLHD.

Significant quantities for the overall project include:

It is anticipated this project will be advertised in December, 2016 with construction beginning in late Spring 2017 and extending through October 2017.  Estimated total cost for Schedule A and Option X is $1.5 to $2.5 million.
