Atkinson Moves Mountains On State Highway Project By Chuck MacDonald CEG CORRESPONDENT

Motorists understand that it can be aggravating — and even dangerous — being trapped behind a line of tractor trailers going in the same direction. Caltrans and crews from Atkinson Construction are removing some of the aggravation and adding safety to a stretch of State Route 46 in central California. Called the Highway 46 Corridor Project, State Route 46 between Paso Robles and Cholame is a critical east-west road that connects the Central Coast and Central Valley. This road is one of the few east-west routes linking I-5 to U.S. Highway 101. This route serves both interregional and interstate traffic. It also is used by commuters of Paso Robles, Cholame, Shandon and Whitley Gardens. The project is part of a grand plan begun more than a decade ago. The first three sections covered 18 mi. and have already been completed. Construction on the current section of the Highway 46 Corridor is 5 mi. and will be expected to run from early this year to 2024. The final two phases are the Wye phase and the Antelope grade. The Wye phase is planned for start of construction in March 2023 and Antelope Grade is in the design phase. The Cholame phase calls for huge amounts of dirt to be removed by scrapers and dozers for placement in other areas of the project. Relocating the dirt will allow room for additional lanes of traffic and for the realignment of the current road to a safer configuration. see ATKINSON page 10

Atkinson Construction recently performed upgrades to State Route 46, a critical east-west road road that connects the Central Coast and Central Valley. Part of the project consisted of constructing box culverts, which was completed in August.
