State Route 99 Selma to Fowler Rehabilitation Project
COMMUTER ALERT:
New SR-99 ramp closures between Second Street in Selma and Manning
Avenue in Fowler starting the week of April 2
Project Description
State Route 99 northbound and southbound lanes will be rehabilitated, shoulders will be widened and replaced with continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP), and a center median paved with asphalt and a concrete barrier will be installed in the center. All ramps will be rebuilt with HMA (Hot Mix Asphalt). The northbound freeway profile will be lowered at the Manning Avenue overcrossing to increase vertical clearances. The project includes culvert replacement, updating curb ramps, guardrails, signs, and electrical replacements.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the pavement on State Route 99 in the northbound and southbound directions from the McCall Avenue undercrossing in the City of Selma to the north of Merced Street undercrossing in the City of Fowler in Fresno County.
Need
The project will install reinforced concrete paving, which will extend the life of the roadway and help minimize future maintenance in the area.
Ramp Closures
The work will close several on-ramps/off-ramps between the City of Selma and the City of Fowler at various project stages. Those ramps will be northbound/southbound Manning Avenue, northbound/southbound State Route 43, northbound/southbound Merced Street northbound/southbound Floral Avenue, and northbound/southbound 2nd Street.
During the current stage of the Selma to Fowler Project, work will take place between Second Street in the City of Selma and Manning Avenue in the City of Fowler. The following changes are expected to begin the week of April 2, 2023. This stage of work is scheduled to be complete early June 2023. The accompanying map shows the detours that will be made available.
