The extended full highway and ramp closures for pavement replacement work will help to minimize the duration of the project and improve workers’ safety. The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather, availability of materials or other unexpected events.

This project includes $47 million from Senate Bill (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 provides $5 billion in transportation funding annually, shared equally between state and local agencies.

Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of SB 1 funds, including projects partially funded by SB 1. Visit build.ca.gov to learn more about transformative infrastructure projects happening in communities throughout the state.
