Interstate 205 / Chrisman Road Interchange Project
Project Description
Caltrans initiated the I-205/Chrisman Road Interchange Project, completing a Project Study Report/Project Development Support (PSR/PDS) document in November 2012. The interchange at the Paradise Road overcrossing was determined to be the optimal placement for building the interchange, and a Draft Environmental Document and Draft Project Report were prepared to analyze this location for feasibility and environmental impact.
- New interchange at the current Paradise Road overcrossing.
- Type L-9 partial cloverleaf interchange on the north side of I-205 and Type L-2 spread diamond interchange on the south side of I-205.
- New intersection at Pescadero Avenue and Paradise Road.
Project Benefits
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to provide a new connection to Interstate 205 (I-205) that serves the existing and planned residential, commercial, and industrial development in the area. This will also relieve the forecasted increase in traffic demand at surrounding interchanges and increase regional mobility. The northeast area of Tracy and its surrounding communities (particularly southwest Lathrop) are growing and developing. This is expected to continue and increase over the next few decades. This growth will continue to increase the demand on local interchanges, causing them to operate at a less than acceptable level of service (LOS). The closest access to I-205 from the project site is MacArthur Drive, where the future traffic demands at the interchange will result in an unacceptable LOS F.
Need
To meet future traffic demands, the City of Tracy’s circulation element and the City of Lathrop’s General Plan identify the need for a new interchange to be located on I-205 between the existing MacArthur Drive interchange and the I-5 interchange.
Funding Source
Funding is available through a variety of state and federal sources, including the Public Lands Highway, San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) Regional Transportation Program, and Highest Priority Projects.
