University Avenue Overcrossing Vertical Clearance Project

University Avenue Overcrossing Vertical Clearance Project

Caltrans proposes to increase the vertical clearance above I-80 at the University Avenue Overcrossing (PM 5.8) in the city of Berkeley, in Alameda County, from the current height of 14 ft 4 inches westbound and 14 ft 5 in eastbound to the current Caltrans standard of 16 ft 6 in to allow for a more efficient travel of oversized vehicles. The project presents multiple alternatives that would either raise the existing structure or a similar would be constructed in the same location as the existing overcrossing.
