San Juan Road Interchange Opening to Traffic (Red Barn)



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.
