SECTION 25230-25262

25230. After receiving the certificate of commitment for
contribution by the State, if any, and certified copies of the
resolutions of approval of the boards of supervisors of all of the
counties comprising the district, the board of directors of the
district may proceed with final surveys, the preparation of final
plans and specifications, the award of contracts and the acquisition
and improvement of the highway or highways constituting the project
or the unit thereof which has been approved for immediate
construction.

25231. In proceeding with a project, or unit thereof, the board of
directors shall have all necessary final surveys, plans,
specifications and detailed drawings prepared by the district
engineer. Upon completion thereof the surveys, plans, specifications
and detailed drawings shall be filed with and approved by the board
of directors.

25232. The final surveys, plans, specifications, and detailed
drawings shall include a final estimate of cost. If the final
estimate exceeds by more than 10 per cent the estimate named in the
preliminary report of the district engineer, the final surveys,
plans, specifications, and detailed drawings shall not be approved by
the board of directors until the increase in estimated costs is
approved by the board of supervisors of each county comprising the
district, and by the Director of Transportation if any contribution
is to be made by the state.

25233. Upon the adoption of the final surveys, plans,
specifications, and detailed drawings by the board of directors, a
certified copy thereof shall be transmitted to the Director of

25261. During the course of the improvement of any highway, the
highway or project shall be under the control of the board of
directors. The board of directors may adopt necessary regulations,
not in conflict with law, concerning the use of the highway. During
that period, the board may exclude from the highway any vehicular or
other traffic which, in the opinion of the board of directors, may be
detrimental to the public safety or will result in injury to the
roadway during the progress of the improvement.

25262. All laws relating to the use of state highways are
applicable to any highways under the control of any district.
