CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The city of Clearlake reported that it completed its Ridgeview guardrail project last week.

The project was an installation of guardrail along Old Highway 53 and Ridgeview Avenue, officials said.

There have been several incidents of motorists driving off the road at this location, and the city reported that residents had requested a guardrail be installed to help protect the homes
in that area.

Midstate Barrier was the lowest responsible bidder on the project, with a bid of $25,250, the city reported.

“We’ve been looking forward to getting this project done for quite a while,” said City Manager Greg Folsom. “This project increases the safety along this section of Old Highway 53 significantly and we were pleased with how quickly the contractor was able to complete the project.”
