Crews are pictured June 13 moving dirt on the west side of the interchange of Highway 101 and State Route 25 in south Gilroy. Construction began earlier this month on the long planned new interchange project, which is designed to ease congestion, improve safety and better connect South County residents to jobs, schools and services. The lead agency on the project is the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. Construction of the $136 million project is expected to last through 2027.
If you’ll notice. When driving SB Santa Teresa, the road isn’t banked correctly. There was originally plans for the road to be 2 lanes in each direction. (Like how it is from 1st to around CHS.) is Santa Teresa now just going to go straight to 101 south? Will their be an off ramp for cars on 101 to get to Santa Teresa?
Why hasn’t anyone shown the driving public what it will look like when it done? That way we can feel better while sitting in traffic knowing we have something to look forward to.
All for a bike lane to hwy 25. Really. What a big waste
I’m thinking you have not been around the current 101/25 interchange between the hours of 2-7pm during the week.
Phase 1 of this project widens the 101/25 overpass to 4 lanes with an improved intersection for the southbound off ramp. The southbound 101/25 off ramp is widened & lengthened to help prevent cars from backing up on the freeway. The northbound merge off & on 101/25 will be repositioned & improved. All this is currently funded & projected to be completed in 2027. All this has been in the paper, & on NextDoor, & other social media.
Phase 2 will connect Santa Teresa to 101 & 25 at the overpass. This has not been funded, so has not been scheduled. Until phase 2, Santa Teresa will dead-end just past the college.
Gilroy Ice Center? Anyone? Gilroy Ice Center? It was to be completed now but ground’s not even broken! Who wants to bet this road project goes over budget and timeframe? As for NextDoor, arguing against endorsed posts (ie. PG&E’s “fire safety”) will result in your account being torpedoed (despite agreeing members). Notice also how The Dispatch’s removed comment sections to stop anything contrary to a certain narrative (school bullying, No Kings protest), no need to wonder why.
