Cordelia Truck Scales Improvement Project

Project Description

Near the city of Fairfield, the proposed project will replace the existing Westbound (WB) I-80 Cordelia Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility (CCVEF). The new facility will be relocated 0.7 mile east from its current location and will provide a new braided off-ramp connection and new entrance ramp connection to/from westbound I-80. Direct access to the facility will also be provided from westbound State Route 12. The new facility will have the capacity to inspect all westbound I-80 trucks passing the facility 24 hours per day, seven days a week.

Need and Purpose

The existing facility is outdated, under capacity, and does not include state of the art technology required for truck inspections today. Existing access from I-80 consists of short on and off ramps, resulting in truck traffic backing up onto I-80 and increasing the potential for rear-end accidents. During peak traffic periods experienced several times per week, the facility is closed to incoming trucks to prevent this queuing.

Project Schedule

Construction Start: August 2025
Construction End: December 2029 (Tentative)
