The Folsom Lake Crossing and East Natoma Street traffic safety enhancement project has been successfully completed. This project is part of the city's ongoing effort to improve safety, reduce accidents, and increase mobility in key corridors.
Metal beam median barriers were installed in three key locations:
- Folsom Lake Crossing between the auxiliary spillway and the Johnny Cash Bridge, spanning 1,625 feet.
- East Natoma Street, stretching from Folsom Lake Crossing to Gionata Way, covering 520 feet.
- Folsom Auburn Road between Folsom Dam Road and Pinebrook Drive, a distance of 840 feet.
These barriers were placed based on the findings of the city's Local Road Safety Plan. The project's scope also included:
- Application of a rubberized friction surface treatment to enhance road safety.
- Radar speed feedback signs.
- Updated pavement markers and signage.
The Public Works Department is seeking additional federal funding to extend the median barrier throughout Folsom Lake Crossing. For more information about the project, contact Senior Civil Engineer Ryan Chance at 916-461-6713 or rchance@folsom.ca.us.
