Document Description
As part of the Caltrans U.S. 101 HOV and Widening Project’s 4E North Segment, the Highway 101 southbound off-ramp at Los Patos Way will permanently close. Once the off-ramp is closed, the Los Patos Underpass Project (Project) will remove the underpass (Bridge No. 51-0235), and fill in the underpass with compacted soil and reinstall the UPRR track on top of the fill. Landscaping will replace the former off-ramp. The terminus of Los Patos Way at the former underpass will be turned into a cul-de-sac. There will be gated access at the end of the cul-de-sac for maintenance access.
There will be a temporary shoofly (rail bypass) constructed between the Project and the Cabrillo and Los Patos Roundabout Project to allow continued train travel during construction of both projects. The shoofly will be created once the retaining walls for the new Cabrillo/Highway 101 interchange are constructed as part of the U.S. 101 HOV and Widening Project’s 4E North Segment. Funding is still pending for the Cabrillo/UPRR Bridge Replacement Project and U.S. 101 HOV and Widening Project’s 4E North Segment. If state funding is awarded, construction is anticipated to begin in 2025 and completed in 2028.
