SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned, and 

Caltrans assumed, environmental 

responsibilities for this project pursuant 

to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans as the 

assigned National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) agency, has prepared a DEIS 

that evaluates 6 build alternatives to 

permanently restore and reopen the 

section of State Route 140 that was 

damaged by the Ferguson rockslide. 

Motorists are currently using a 

temporary bypass route to travel to this 

section of State Route 140. Caltrans 

approved the DEIS on November 5, 

2010. Caltrans proposes to restore full 

highway access between Mariposa and 

El Portal via State Route 140 in 

Mariposa County, California by 

repairing or permanently bypassing the 

portion of State Route 140 that was 

blocked and damaged by the Ferguson 

rockslide. The total length of the project 

is 0.7 mile. The following build 

alternatives are being proposed: 

Alternative C (Open-cut Realignment) 

This alternative would realign the 

highway to the northeast of its current 

alignment, spanning the Merced River 

and bypassing the rockslide. State Route 

140 would cut through the mountain 

across the Merced River from the 

rockslide and then span back across the 

river where it would meet the existing 

alignment. Two bridges would be built 

across the river. 

Alternative T (Tunnel Realignment) 

This alternative would realign the 

highway to the northeast of its current 

alignment, spanning the Merced River 

and bypassing the rockslide. State Route 

140 would tunnel 700 feet through the 

mountain across the Merced River from 

the rockslide and then span back across 

the river where it would meet the 

existing alignment. Two bridges would 

be built across the river. 

Alternative T–3 (Tunnel under Slide 

Realignment) 

This alternative would realign the 

highway by constructing a 2,200-footlong tunnel under the area of the slide. 

Alternative S (Viaduct Realignment) 

This alternative would realign the 

highway to the northeast of its current 

alignment, spanning the Merced River 

with two bridges and bypassing the 

rockslide with a hillside viaduct and 

retaining wall. 

Alternative S–2 (Modified Viaduct 

Realignment) 

This alternative is similar to 

Alternative S and would realign the 

highway to the northeast of its current 

alignment, spanning the Merced River 

with two bridges and bypassing the 

rockslide with a hillside viaduct and 

retaining wall. This alternative differs 

from Alternative S in that it proposes 

two bridge type variations along with 

their own specific roadway alignments. 

The first (S2–V1) would construct two 

tied-arch bridges, which use an arch 

structure with cables above the bridge 

deck for support. The second (S2–V2) 

would construct two slant-leg bridges, 

which use ‘‘V’’-shaped columns to 

support the bridge deck. 

Alternative R (Rockshed/Tunnel) 

This alternative would construct a 

rockshed (cut-and-cover tunnel) through 

the talus (foundation layer) of the slide 

along the existing State Route 140 

alignment. 

The No-build Alternative would leave 

State Route 140 damaged and blocked 

by the Ferguson rockslide. As a result of 

the No-build Alternative, the temporary 

detour would continue to function as 

State Route 140. Either general wear or 

damage from flooding in a high water 

year will eventually require the removal 

of the bridges, supporting structures, 

and the detour pavement, leading to the 

permanent closure of State Route 140 at 

the section damaged by the rockslide.
