MONTEREY
COUNTY – Caltrans and Granite Construction Company will partially open the
new San Juan Road Interchange to traffic on the morning of Friday, October 10. The
opening will permanently remove left turns across Highway 101 at San Juan Road
and Cole Road.
By 6 a.m.
Friday, October 10, crews will open the southbound Highway 101 exit and
northbound Highway 101 on-ramp to traffic. The opening will allow drivers to
use the new interchange to access:
·
San
Juan Road
·
Cole
Road
·
Ballantree
Lane
·
The
Red Barn
·
Northbound
Highway 101
Access to
southbound Highway 101 will remain via the existing Dunbarton Road detour.
Directional
signs and changeable message boards will be in place to help direct drivers.
The
northbound Highway 101 off-ramp and southbound Highway 101 on-ramp will remain
closed to allow crews to continue to safely work on both the ramps and Highway
101. The full opening of the San Juan Road Interchange is currently scheduled
for Spring of 2015.
The $69
million San Juan Road Interchange Project will remove three major at-grade
intersections (San Juan Road, Dunbarton Road, and Cole Road) and replace them
with a new interchange near the Red Barn at San Juan Road and U.S.101. The
project is supported by $10 million from the Recovery Act and $28 million from
Proposition 1B, a 2006 voter-approved bond. In total, nearly $15 billion in
Proposition 1B funds have been distributed statewide.
More
than 60,000 vehicles daily travel through the U.S. 101/San Juan Road area.
