Centennial Corridor Southbound State Route 99 and Westbound State Route 58 Connector

Project Description

The project proposes to construct a freeway-to-freeway connecter at the State Route 58 and State Route 99 interchange. The connector would enable traffic to go from the southbound State Route 99 freeway off-ramp just north of Stockdale Highway, travel along a direct connector on a curved alignment in the northwest quadrant of the interchange, and move onto westbound State Route 58 on the new freeway alignment.
