Project Description

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in cooperation with Stanislaus County and the Stanislaus Council of Governments, proposes to construct an access-controlled facility within the western central portion of Stanislaus County from Gates Road/Paradise Road to Dakota Avenue, post miles 4.5 to R11.7, located two miles west of the City of Modesto. This project (State Route 132 Dakota Avenue to Gates Road) would be an extension of the State Route 132 West project. Phase 1 of this project is currently being constructed on a new alignment in the City of Modesto. There are four Build Alternatives and a No Build Alternative under consideration on either the existing State Route 132 alignment or on a new alignment.

 

Project Benefits

Purpose

The project would:

  • Improve mobility through western Stanislaus County
  • Improve capacity for regional movement of traffic and goods
  • Improve the circulation of local roads and connectivity to State Route 132
  • Provide route continuity

Need

The project is needed to accommodate increasing growth and traffic demands which have generated current and forecasted traffic operations deficiencies for the existing facility. Several rural driveways along the existing facility create conflict movements for the mainline traffic.

 

Funding Source

Proposed funding for support and capital costs are anticipated to be local funds with potential federal and state funds that could be available to the project in the future.
