The scope of work includes 360,000 square feet of roadway improvements through pavement grinding, reinforcement mat placement, and asphalt overlay. In areas where the pavement had failed structurally, 31,000 square feet of asphalt was removed and replaced. Pedestrian facilities were significantly improved with 667 linear feet of new curb and gutter, 2,100 square feet of sidewalk replacement, and 16 reconstructed curb ramps brought into full ADA compliance. Class II bike lanes were also installed to enhance multimodal access and safety along the corridor.

Several challenges required careful planning and coordination. As a federally funded project, ongoing collaboration with Caltrans was necessary to manage the timely release of funds throughout design and construction. The project also involved coordination with the City of Fresno’s Traffic Signal and Street Lights Department, which oversees traffic signals at key intersections along Bethel Avenue. Because this corridor carries a high volume of daily traffic, the project team prioritized designing and implementing traffic control strategies that were safe yet minimally disruptive for residents and commuters.

Yamabe & Horn played a central role throughout all phases of the project. As the City of Sanger’s engineering consultant, the team provided civil engineering design, project management, surveying, and construction management services. Y&H also prepared and submitted the competitive grant application that secured essential federal funding, helping the City bring this important project to life.
