By Editor | Jun 8, 2016

LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Caltrans will hold a meeting on Wednesday, June 8, to discuss plans to widen a section of Highway 29.

The open public forum on the Lake 29 Improvement Project will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Lower Lake High School gymnasium, 9430 Lake St.

Caltrans, the Lake County Area Planning Council and the Federal Highway Administration are proposing to widen an eight-mile segment of Highway 29 between Lower Lake and Kelseyville to a four-lane expressway with access control.

The proposed project will start at the top of the Glasgow Grade – at Diener Drive – about 3.3 miles north of the town of Lower Lake. The proposed project will end just north of the Highway 29/175 intersection.

At the public hearing, attendees will be able to visit display stations to view project exhibits, discuss the revised partial draft environmental impact report/environmental assessment with Caltrans project staff and enter formal comments into the public record.
