State Route 17 Main Street Bridge, Los Gatos

As you can see from these latest progress photos, we are entering the home stretch! We are thrilled to share that work on the Main Street Bridge overcrossing of State Route 17 in Los Gatos is near completion. At Caltrans, we take great pride in the quality and safety of the infrastructure we build for our communities. We want to extend a sincere thank you to the residents and businesses of the town of Los Gatos for your incredible patience and partnership throughout this project. We are happy to report that on-street parking has been fully restored, and the newly paved sidewalks are finished and ready for use providing a smoother, safer, and more accessible path for everyone. As we put the final touches on this crossing, we look forward to the long-term benefits these improvements will bring to the heart of our community.

Keeping Santa Clara County Clean: Graffiti and Debris Removal in Action!

The Caltrans Anti-Graffiti Maintenance Crew is making a significant impact in Santa Clara County by restoring the visual appeal of our highways and infrastructure. On average, the team removes approximately 3,000 square feet of graffiti daily, which is equivalent to the area of a small retail store. This impressive feat is accomplished by using 1 to 3 five-gallon buckets of paint per day, depending on the size and thickness of the graffiti.

From January 1, 2025 to February 1, 2026, Caltrans has removed nearly 27,000 cubic yards of debris (equivalent to 1,225 garbage trucks) across the nine counties that make up its Bay Area district, including 223 sites and 11,000 cubic yards of material in Santa Clara County alone.
