FRESNO, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation has released for public review the Draft Environmental Assessment and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact for the proposed widening of a 4.7-mile stretch of Millerton Road located between North Fork Road and slightly east of Table Mountain Road, in Fresno County, California.
The County of Fresno would reconstruct this area from a 2-lane rural roadway to a 4-lane arterial roadway with four 12-foot-wide travel lanes, two 6-foot-wide paved shoulders that would function as directional bike lanes, and 4-foot-wide treated dirt shoulders. A 16-foot-wide median would separate the eastbound and westbound traffic. The minimum design speed for the roadway is 45 miles per hour (mph) and conforms to a higher design speed (55 mph) wherever practical.
The Draft EA and FONSI were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, and are available at https://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails.cfm?project_ID=27802. If you encounter problems accessing the document, please call 916-978-5100 or email mppublicaffairs@usbr.gov.
