State Route 132 West Freeway/Expressway Project Draft EIR / EA & Draft Final Remedial Action Plan

State Route 132 West Freeway/Expressway Project Draft EIR / EA & Draft Final Remedial Action Plan

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in cooperation with the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) partnership, proposes to construct a four-lane freeway/expressway along the adopted route south of Kansas Avenue from Dakota Avenue (PM 11.0) to east of SR 99 at the Needham Street Bridge Overcrossing (PM 15.0). The total length of the project would be approxiamtely 4 miles and would include connections on SR 99 from PM 15.7 to PM 17.5. Selection of either of the build alternatives would result in the containment of the Caltrans Modesto Soil Stockpiles retaining walls and bridge abutments and beneath highway pavements. The purpose and need are to improve regional and interregional circulation and relieve traffic congestion along existing SR 132.
