Salinas: East Alisal Street—Skyway Boulevard Roundabout Project

The City of Salinas has contracted with Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction, Inc. to construct the first modern roundabout in Salinas, located at the intersection of East Alisal Street and Skyway Boulevard, adjacent to Firehouse Recreation Center and Fairways Golf Course, and roughly 0.6 miles north of the Salinas Municipal Airport.   

Work within the intersection necessitates re-routing traffic during the 2.5-month construction period.  The project is currently on schedule, with the intent of having an operational intersection before the California International Airshow at the Salinas Municipal Airport on September 26 and 27, 2015.

Motorists are encouraged to re-route around the area, or be detoured around the intersection, resulting in 5 to 10-minute delays, depending upon the time of day.
