Santa Fe Roundabout
Project Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to build a four-legged, single-lane roundabout with a bypass on State Route 43 at its intersection with Santa Fe Way, Los Angeles Avenue, and Beech Avenue in the City of Shafter. The existing pavement within the intersection would be replaced with Type A Hot-Mix Asphalt pavement, and a separate Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement concrete truck apron would accommodate standard Surface Transportation Assistance Act trucks at the center of the roundabout.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to improve safety and reduce the number of collisions at the intersection of State Route 43 with Los Angeles Avenue, Santa Fe Way, and Beech Avenue.
Need
This safety improvement is required to address and reduce the number and/or severity of collisions at this intersection due to substandard geometry, traffic congestion, and the presence of the Beech Avenue railroad crossing connection.
