Author René Bobadilla, P.E. Organization City of Montebello Address 1600 West Beverly Boulevard, Montebello, CA 90640-3932 Phone (323) 887-1350 Project Description MONTEBELLO – BRINGING SUSTAINABLE STREETS TO OUR RESIDENTS Cities throughout Southern California struggle with aging streets, limited budgets and looming environmental mandates. Montebello recently confronted those challenges with two innovative street projects, repaving nearly 100 streets. Montebello became the first California city to use the advanced Composite Layering System process, HyRAP® Hot Mix Asphalt (HyRAP®) on an Asphalt-Rubber Aggregate Membrane (ARAM), referred to as HyRAM™. Conventional hot mix asphalt is a combination of virgin aggregate and liquid asphalt (oil), whereas HyRAP® is produced almost entirely using recycled asphalt and petroleum rejuvenators, therefore resulting in a reduction of 100% of virgin aggregate and up to 90% in […]

The path of travel along Sierra Highway was wildly different from one property to the next. Pedestrians transitioned between sidewalks, planters, gravel, driveways, front yards and parking lots. Accessing transit, shopping, schools, and residences required pedestrians to maneuver through different elevations, grades, and surfaces […]

2020-21 Overlay and Slurry Seal Program

The City of Santa Clarita (City) is the third largest city in Los Angeles County, and as such we strive to maximize our resources to preserve our growing pavement infrastructure. We employ a five-year pavement management plan to strategize the locations and treatments for our pavement projects. Our multi-year pavement management plan utilizes current pavement management principals of doing the right thing to the right pavement at the right time (Federal Highway Administration). The City’s maintained pavement network consists of 1,252.09 lane miles and 112,164,467 square feet. Maintenance for our pavement network is prioritized using a critical point management approach which focuses on the rehabilitation and maintenance of streets above rather than below a critical point pavement condition index (PCI). Before this project, the City’s overall PCI was 70, but with all of the creative strategies we employ, the City’s overall PCI rating increased to 72 after completion. The City […]

James Bypass Overflow Bridges on Manning Avenue

James Bypass was a multiple bridge project executed using the accelerated bridge construction method in order to keep Manning open to trucks and traffic for as much of the project duration as possible. The foundations for the two new bridges were constructed under the existing bridges, and the road was closed down for only 35 total days to demolish the old bridges, construct the new bridges, and pave the roadway. Since there was a very limited amount of space under the bridges to construct the foundations, the girders were designed with footings that would rest on the abutments and pier caps. Unfortunately, while pre-casting the foundations, it was discovered that alternative designs needed to be considered because the original girder design wouldn’t work. A design was chosen that raised the elevation of the pier caps and abutments utilizing a secondary concrete pour. While it added to the necessary road closure […]

The Green Tree Extension is the final phase of a three-phase multi-jurisdiction regional project. The agencies involved with permitting and funding are the City of Victorville, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), the County of San Bernardino, and the Town of Apple Valley.

In 2020, right of way was certified. The construction contract was awarded in March 2021. The project is scheduled to be complete in May 2023.

North Dinuba Infrastructure Improvements Project

The City of Dinuba received an award of $4,198,800 through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for the North Dinuba Infrastructure Improvements Project. The project has brought much needed sewer, storm drain facilities, street improvements and a pocket park to an underserved area of town that was previously annexed by the City of Dinuba. These improvements will greatly benefit the residents who reside within the project service area. Not only will this project provide these residents with better infrastructure and a new park, it will also improve the overall quality of life in the area. The project met the Low Moderate Area (LMA) National Objective and will benefit approximately 7,370 persons that reside within this project service area. The North Dinuba Infrastructure Improvements Project installed approximately 3,300 lineal feet of sewer main to serve the current residents within the Griggs Avenue neighborhood, Western Sky Mobile Home Park, and other […]
