Reclamation Releases Final Environmental Documents for the County of Fresno’s Proposed Millerton Road Widening Project

The following news_release was published by the Bureau of Reclamation on June 2, 2017. It is reproduced in full below.

FRESNO, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation has released the Final Environmental Assessment and 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 of 55 mph wherever practical.

The Final 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.

For additional information or to request a copy of the Final EA and or FONSI, please contact Stacy Holt at 559-487-5295 (TTY 800-877-8339).
