HWY 101 TRAFFIC SWITCH COMING MAY 22


New alignment will take all Hwy. 101 traffic over Russell and Espinosa Roads

The next phase of Caltrans’ Prunedale Improvement Project will make travel through the intersection where Russell and Espinosa Roads used to cross Highway 101 much safer. On Wednesday, May 22, Caltrans will move southbound Hwy. 101 traffic on to the new alignment that takes all Hwy. 101 traffic up and over Russell and Espinosa Roads.

The traffic switch will happen after 10 p.m. on May 22.

In addition to moving all Hwy 101 traffic on to the new alignment, Caltrans will also open the new Sala Road interchange. The new interchange will allow motorists on northbound Hwy 101 to exit on to Sala Road, turn right on to Harrison Road, and access Russell and Espinosa Roads safely. Travelers on southbound Hwy 101 will need to go to Boronda Road, turn left on Boronda Road, and left on Main St. to access Russell Road and Espinosa. 

This traffic switch will allow Granite Construction and MCM Construction, Caltrans’ contractors for the Prunedale Improvement Project, to complete work on the southbound Hwy. 101 overcrossing, which will be finished later this year.

The following day, Thursday, May 23, crews will re-stripe Hwy 101 at Ralph Lane, adding a double-yellow line to prohibit left and U-turns across the highway.

To travel south on Hwy 101 from Ralph Lane motorists will need to:
    • Turn right on Hwy. 101
    • Turn right on to Reese Circle
    • Turn right on to the Prunedale South Road overpass
    • Turn right on Blackie Rd.
    • Turn right on to southbound Hwy. 101
