Ridgecrest Road Culvert Outfall Rehabilitation

Fairfax-Bolinas Road CONDITION UPDATES, thank you for your patience: At milepost 5.73, Fairfax-Bolinas Road will be open on weekdays and weekends from 12/16/24 through 1/1/25 (weather permitting), with traffic controlled through a single lane with alternating access. This is to accommodate the holiday traffic. From 1/2/25 through 1/5/25, the road will be closed at milepost 5.73 to allow for construction activities as the project nears completion, weather permitting. After 1/5/25, it is anticipated that the road will be closed from Azalea Hill to Ridgecrest on weekdays only. By mid-January, the project is expected to be completed and the roadway will fully reopen. See project webpage for details.

Description

Overview

Winter storms of 2022-2023 led to the separation of a culvert outfall pipe through an existing retaining wall on Ridgecrest Road in unincorporated Kentfield. Temporary emergency protect measures were put in place to prevent further damage to the existing wall. Permanent repairs will include the installation of a new outfall pipe, concrete wall repairs, and rock slope protection.

Funding

The construction estimate is $250,000 and will be funded by the County's Road & Bridge fund.

Traffic Impacts

There will be minimal public impact caused by partial lane closures on Ridgecrest Road as required by the construction activities.
