The Town of Truckee has been awarded $839,250 in funding through the California Department of Transportation's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to remove and replace damaged roadway guardrails. This grant, announced on February 21, 2025, is part of a statewide initiative aimed at enhancing safety on roads, bikeways, and trails. The funding will be used to address aging infrastructure and damage caused by collisions at identified locations, with proposed replacement sites shown on the map below.
The successful application, one of 288 awarded statewide, was led by Engineering Technician Blake Kloczl, with critical input from Street Maintenance Supervisor Kyler Coxson, who recognized the need for guardrail upgrades. This marks the second time the Town of Truckee has received an HSIP grant for guardrail replacement, following a previous award in 2018.
Construction of this project is anticipated to begin in 2026, further improving safety for all users of the Town’s roadways. The Town appreciates the efforts of all involved and looks forward to the positive impact this project will have on local infrastructure.
