Modes: Roadways
PCTPA coordinates with the jurisdictions in Placer County, along with Caltrans and SACOG to develop various roadway projects that meet the transportation needs of Placer County residents.  As the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for Placer County, it is PCTPA's responsibility to allocate state and federal transportation planning and construction funds to its member jurisdictions.  Additionally, PCTPA must develop transportation planning documents according to state and federal regulations to ensure member jurisdictions continue to receive state and federal transportation funds.

Some key roadway projects that PCTPA is currently helping to coordinate and fund:

I-80/Douglas Interchange Enhancements: Funded by a partnership between the City of Roseville, Caltrans, and PCTPA, this project will improved traffic flow to and from I-80, Douglas Boulevard and Sunrise Avenue.  Construction is currently underway, and completion is expected in Fall 2005.  See the City of Roseville Department of Public Works webpage for more detailed project information.

Sierra College Boulevard Improvements: The improvements to Sierra College Boulevard will consist of widening the roadway to four or six lanes from State Route (SR) 193 to the Sacramento County line, and reconstruction of the interchange at I-80.  The environmental document has been completed and design is currently underway for the interchange portion of the project. Construction is scheduled for Fall 2005 contingent upon available funding.

I-80 Capacity Expansion in Roseville: The projected traffic demand on the I-80 freeway corridor will, in the near future, impact the freeway to a point of operational breakdown during peak periods.  This project will consist of adding one lane in each direction on I-80 from the Sacramento/Placer County line to approximately one-half mile east of the SR 65 connector and the addition of auxiliary lanes.  Work for this project will be phased: Phase I will be the eastbound auxiliary lane from the County line to Douglas Boulevard and will be ready to construct in 2005.  Funding needed for construction has not yet been identified.

Lincoln Bypass: The proposed project is a westerly bypass along SR 65 around the City of Lincoln. The project consists of a roughly 10-mile two- and four-lane facility extending from Industrial Boulevard in Lincoln to just north of Sheridan.  Design and right-of-way purchasing are are currently underway and construction is scheduled for the 2008/2009 fiscal year.
