Worst stretch of road?

I think the EIS is completed, and construction is slated to begin in '06, but it was a while since I read about it. I could easily be wrong. CA-58 and CA-99 will be overlapped for a segment between CA-58 (current) and about 7th Standard Rd under this plan. I'm pretty sure CalTrans has work in progress to make CA-58 entirely a freeway from I-15 to I-5, I just don't know the exact timetable to completion. Dave |

I could easily be wrong. I think you are quite right but, alas, a bit obsolete. Not too long ago, as nearly as I can tell (and I too could be wrong), somebody decided the intersection with CA-99 was a show stopper and the whole problem of what to do with segments 7 and 8 of CA-58 needed rethinking. See for instance page 16 of http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist6/planning...lldocument.pdf Meanwhile, all I can do is suggest daytime headlights, high alertness, following distances on the long side of prudence, moderate speeds, and Plan B in one's back pocket even in fine weather, never mind during the seasons and hours when the airborne oatmeal they call "tule fog" rolls in... Cheers, --Joe |
