SR-58 (Rosedale Highway) Widening

Mark Thomas provided final design for the $17 million widening of approximately 5.5 miles of SR-58/Rosedale Highway from SR 99 to Allen Road. This conventional highway is on the National Highway System within City of Bakersfield, County of Kern, and Caltrans District 6 right of way. The project added one lane in each direction, and included median improvements, and turn lanes at some intersections. Pavement was fully reconstructed or rehabilitated through the entire project limits. New curb and sidewalks were added throughout the project limits.

Rosedale Highway is an important conventional highway that has an ADT of 43,000 through the project limits. The roadway is lined with commercial sites, residences and home development access roads, and schools. This required Mark Thomas to develop a construction staging plan that maintained sufficient thru-put capacity and access to private property. The project also included significant utility coordination and relocation.
