NORTHBOUND SAN JUAN ROAD INTERCHANGE OFF-RAMP OPENING TO TRAFFIC FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20

Caltrans and Granite Construction Company will open the new northbound San Juan Road Interchange off-ramp on the morning of Friday, February 20. The opening will remove the need for left turns across U.S. Highway 101 at Dunbarton Road. Access to Dunbarton Road from both directions of U.S. Highway 101 will remain open.

By 6 a.m. Friday, February 20, crews will open the northbound Highway 101 exit to traffic. The opening will allow northbound drivers to use the new interchange to access:

·         San Juan Road

·         Cole Road

·         Ballantree Lane

·         The Red Barn

·         Marilyn Lane

Directional signs and changeable message boards will be in place to help direct drivers.

Access to southbound Highway 101 will remain via the existing Dunbarton Road detour. The southbound San Juan Road Interchange on-ramp will remain closed to allow crews to continue to safely work on both the ramp and U.S. 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.
