Caltrans Approves Low-Carbon Cement for Highway Jobs Caltrans has approved the use of low-carbon cement following testing by the Oregon State University College of Engineering. Caltrans is the agency responsible for more than 50,000 mi. of highways and freeways in California. The use of Portland limestone cement, or PLC, will help reduce the carbon footprint of California’s transportation system by as much as 10 percent annually compared to ordinary Portland cement, according to the transportation agency. PLC has a higher percentage of limestone, which results in the carbon savings. Portland cement, developed in England in the early 1800s, is the most common type of binder used in concrete. According to Caltrans, in 2017 alone, the agency used 325,000 tons of cement to upgrade the California highway system. Shifting to low-carbon cement can potentially reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 28,000 tons a year — the amount produced by 6,000 cars. The PLC approval was based on Caltrans-funded research by Oregon State University’s (OSU) Jason Weiss, professor of civil and construction engineering and the Miles Lowell and Margaret Watt Edwards Distinguished Chair in Engineering. The research concluded that PLC will work just as well as Portland cement for Caltrans projects, while being more climate friendly and costing a bit less. Globally, the production of Portland cement is estimated to be responsible for as much as 8 percent of the carbon released into the Earth’s atmosphere. “Cement accounts for such a high level of emissions

because of how extensively it’s used around the world,” Weiss said. “We use 10 times more concrete than any other building material, and it is becoming more and more urgent in the face of climate change that we reduce the carbon footprint of infrastructure materials.” Weiss explained that cement is usually produced by mining, grinding and heating clay and limestone in industrial kilns to temperatures as high as 2,820 degrees Fahrenheit. The process alters the materials’ chemistry and creates “clinker,” cement’s main component, and also generates large quantities of the
greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. The PLC process uses more limestone — up to 15 percent, or 10 percent more than ordinary cement — and results in less clinker, with the environmental upshot being a smaller amount of carbon emissions, Weiss said. “Our goal is always to produce better, more sustainable and longer-lasting concrete,” Weiss said. “We don’t want to do research that sits in a book on a shelf. We want to impact standards, specifications and construction practices that move the civil and construction engineering profession forward.”

Officials Approve $312 Million for 126 Highway Projects As part of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s landmark $1.1 billion Clean California initiative, Caltrans is awarding $312 million for 126 projects along the state highway system. Designed to foster cultural connections and civic pride, the projects are expected to generate 3,600 jobs as part of the multiyear initiative led by Caltrans to upgrade interstates and beautify community gateways and public areas along highways, streets and roads while creating thousands of jobs for Californians. Ninety-eight percent of the projects will benefit historically underserved or excluded communities. “Caltrans partnered with communities throughout California to identify and develop projects that meet the specific needs of each individual region while also enhancing and beautifying public spaces,” said Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin. “By working together, we are better able to restore public pride in our communities and help change the habits that create litter in the first place.” Developed in close collaboration with tribal and local governments, non-profits and businesses, the 126 state beautification projects include art installations, green space and proposals that improve safety and promote community connections. Construction begins in April 2022. Some of the larger projects include: District 3: Eureka State Route 99 (SR-99) Golden State Highway Beautification Project — Phases 1 & 2 (city of Sacramento/ Sacramento County): These projects will improve and upgrade a 9-mi. stretch of SR-99 between the Broadway undercrossing and the Stockton Boulevard overcrossing. Enhancements will include the painting of existing sound walls and retaining walls and the installation of slope paving, improved lighting and aesthetic fencing on bridges and pedestrian crossings. Murals also will be installed at the 2nd Avenue and 21st Avenue undercrossings. The total cost of this project is $13.8 million with an estimated start date of July 2022 for Phase 1 and December 2022 for Phase 2. The expected completion date for both phases is June 2023. Downtown Sacramento Landmarks Project (city of Sacramento/Sacramento County): This $5.8 million project will improve and upgrade sections of Interstate 5 (I-5) and State Route 51 (Business 80) including the "Boat Section" of I-5 between Capitol Mall and U Street and the "Marconi Curve" on Business 80 at Marconi Avenue. Enhancements will include the installation of materials with aesthetic designs, public art and fencing. The estimated start date is October 2022 with an expected completion date of September 2023.
Bridge safety enhancements will receive $8.5 million to install safety elements and slope paving, hardscaping, fencing and vegetation management at 30 locations along Interstate 5, Interstate 8 and State Route 94.
State Route 70 (SR-70) Oroville Beautification and Safety Project (city of Oroville/Butte County): This $3.2 million project provides safety improvements for two interchanges along SR-70 at Montgomery Avenue and State Route 162. Improvements include creating dry creek beds and rock outcroppings, adding non-irrigated plants and installing transportation art and sculptures. The estimated start date is May 2022 with an expected completion date
of June 2023. District 7: Los Angeles U.S. Route 101 Lankershim to Beaudry: The project will beautify the landscape areas of the on/off-ramps, and slopes along U.S. Route 101 in Los Angeles County from Lankershim Boulevard to N. Beaudry Avenue. A decorative sculpture and rock design, California native plants and new decorative colored concrete will be

installed. Overhead signs will be enhanced by removal of barbed wire and installation of dimpled sleeves on columns; and irrigation will be upgraded for water conservation and theft prevention. Estimated cost is $3.151 million and is expected to be complete by April 2023. State Route 118 Simi Valley: The project will enhance six interchanges in Simi Valley by replacing dying groundcover with aesthetically pleasing rock cobble. Native, drought tolerant plants to control erosion and provide pollinator habitat will be planted in selected areas at local streets to enhance the visual experience for the local community. As the community requested, each interchange will receive a different plant palette and hardscape or aesthetic motif to provide a unique place-making aesthetic to each location. Estimated cost: $3.924 million. Estimated completion date is June 2023. District 11: San Diego Imperial County Community Improvements Project: This $3.8 million project will improve locations by installing bus stop shelters in Holtville, Brawley and Calipatria; and enhancing roadway medians and pedestrian safety improvements in El Centro along State Routes 86. Bridge Safety Enhancements: $8.5 million to install safety elements and slope paving, hardscaping, fencing and vegetation management at 30 locations along Interstate 5, Interstate 8 and State Route 94. San Ysidro International Gateway: $2.5 million to replace the existing “Bienvenidos a California” monument built in the early 1970s; and add energy-efficient accent lighting, drought tolerant landscaping and artistic elements on Interstate 5 and Interstate 805 near the U.S./Mexico border.
