Site work and paving for a road / highway in Gilroy, California. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

The Project will consist of roadway improvements along SR 25 and US 101. Along SR 25, the Project begins near post mile (PM) 2.1, just west of UPRR crossing, and continues to PM 2.6, at the terminus of SR 25 at US 101. Along US 101, Project improvements begin at PM 2.6, south of SR 25, and continue to PM 4.2, near Mesa Road. The Project includes the following key elements. Construct a new SR 25 overcrossing above US 101, just north of the existing SR 25 overcrossing, and demolish the existing SR 25 overcrossing structure. Construct new US 101/SR 25 Interchange on-and off-ramps and demolish the existing southbound US 101 off-ramp structure to SR 25. Construct a slightly realigned portion of northbound US 101 at the SR 25 overcrossing. Construct SR 25 starting at the new overcrossing structure and conform with the existing alignment just west of the UPRR crossing. Construct a Class I bike path adjacent to the US 101 Southbound off-ramp between Castro Valley Road and SR 25. Construct new traffic signals at the US 101 ramp termini with SR 25. Construct bridge structures, retaining walls, barriers, overhead signs, drainage, lighting, traffic monitoring, ramp metering, and other roadway features. Construct an irrigation system and perform 1-year Plant Establishment Period. Remove access to southbound US 101 at both Castro Valley Road and Mesa Road. Remove and modify access to several properties and construct new local roadway or driveway connections. The estimated cost of construction for the Project is in the range of $85 million to $94 million. The work will include furnishing all labor, supervision, materials, and equipment necessary to construct the Project. *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document. Located just south of the City of Gilroy in Santa Clara County, VTA is proposing to reconstruct the US 101/SR 25 interchange slightly north of the current interchange, replacing the SR 25 two-lane overcrossing structure with a wider bridge structure over US 101. As part of the Project, all of the ramps will be reconstructed, including the southbound US 101 off-ramp that will be widened and lengthened to reduce traffic backups onto US 101, replacing the existing ramp bridge structure over Gavilan Creek. The northbound US 101 ramps will be replaced to improve exit and merging safety, while traffic signals will be installed at the ramp intersections to improve traffic operations. Additional project elements include a new bike path, retaining walls, barriers, overhead signs, drainage, lighting,trafficmonitoring and rampmetering equipment, and other roadway features. The existing US 101/SR 25 interchange is over 30 years old and no longer accommodates traffic demands due to rapid growth in commuter, commercial, and recreational traffic that passesthrough the interchange. These conditions, coupled with high travelspeeds, have resulted in higher-than-average accident rates in the interchange area, and US 101 southbound traffic exiting to go eastbound on SR 25 backs up onto the US 101 mainline, creating a safety hazard.
