Document Description
Caltrans, in partnership with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) as the project sponsor, proposes to provide a new, 4-lane highway from State Route 4 near Marsh Creek Road in Contra Costa County to I-205 and/or I-580 in Alameda County and/or San Joaquin County. This new route would improve the transportation network for an area that has few north-south roadway connections between eastern Contra Costa County and the western San Joaquin Valley. The SR 239 Project would provide relief from commute traffic through the town of Byron, enhance mobility in eastern Contra Costa County, and improve access to the Byron Airport. Caltrans and CCTA are also considering multimodal alternatives for the SR 239 Project. The overall SR 239 corridor is being evaluated at both a Tier I (program) level and a Tier II (project) level. Two alternatives for Tier I are being considered. Alternative A would be a 4-lane highway with an alignment east of the Byron Airport that would turn southward and connect to the I-580/I-205 interchange. Alternative B would be a 4-lane highway with an alignment east of the Byron Airport that would run parallel to and west of Byron Highway before joining Byron Road and connecting to I-205 west of Tracy. The Tier II, or initial phase, is proposed to be a 2-lane highway between State Route 4 near Marsh Creek Road and the Byron Airport.
