Project Benefits
Purpose and Need
The purpose of the project is to relieve congestion and improve regional mobility by improving access to and from the State Route 99 (SR-99). The project will focus on improving local traffic circulation and accommodating for planned growth by providing additional capacity on Mitchell and Service Roads, signalizing intersections, and increasing connectivity. SR-99 is a part of the California freeway and expressway system, an Intermodal Corridor of Economic Significance, a designated Strategic Highway Network, and a large truck route. Mitchell Road is designated as a principal arterial and identified as a primary access point to SR-99, and a gateway to the City of Ceres. This project is regionally significant as it improves and increases the capacity to the State Route system.
