Project Description

The project adds a lane in each direction, improves the 24th Street/Oak Street intersection, modifies the “S” curve, installs a new 48-inch storm drain along the corridor, and constructs a new median and adds landscaping within the residential section of the corridor. The City is managing the project between the Kern River Bridge and the State Route 178 freeway at M Street. Caltrans is constructing improvements west of the Kern River Bridge in conjunction with a State Route 99 rehabilitation project.

24th Street Historic Districts

The Area of Potential Effects for the 24th Street Improvement Project was established in October 2010 using the engineering footprints of all Build Alternatives. Two potential historic districts were identified within this area – the District North of 24th Street and the District South of 24th Street. These historic districts are assumed to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places for the purposes of this project only. Visit the 24th Street Historic Districts website to see homes identified as significant to these districts.
