Bidding and construction is estimated to take place in fiscal year 2026-2027. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: The City of Atwater, in partnership with the County of Merced ("County"), initiated a Project Study ReportProject Development Support ("PSR-PDS") to evaluate improvements to Bellevue Road, a major collector road alignment, that would help relieve congestion and improve traffic flow through the City along Bellevue Road. The Project will reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled ("VMT") while restoring Bellevue Road as a major entry to the northern portion of the City, providing a more direct route between State Route 99, the City, and the Castle Commerce Center to the east. Bellevue Road would be realigned just south of the existing Bellevue Road, then conform near the intersection of Parade Street and Bellevue Road within the City corporate limits. New intersection connections are required at Vine Avenue and Orchard Park Avenue. The PSR-PDS identified two (2) alignment alternatives; however, in discussions with Project stakeholders a third viable alternative alignment emerged between these two. All three alignments were evaluated in the adopted Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The City Council adopted the Alignment Alternative 3 as the preferred alignment.
