Document Description: Caltrans will replace the existing overcrossing with a new raised structure of about 16 feet 6 inches to meet current Caltrans standards. The new overcrossing will be constructed with two roundabouts. One roundabout will be on an elevated structure at the intersection of University Avenue and the EB 1-80 on and off ramps. The other roundabout will create a new intersection that will be accessed from University Avenue, the WB 1-80 on and off ramps, and the West Frontage road. There will be two lanes in each direction on the overcrossing with new sidewalks that connect to the pedestrian ramp. The on and off ramps for WB 1-80 will be reconfigured to conform to the raised overcrossing.
