Document Description
Caltrans is proposing to construct a four-lane divided expressway on the same alignment as the existing conventional two-lane roadway from the State Route 132/33 Separation Overhead (Br# 29-167L) in San Joaquin County to 0.16 km west of the San Joaquin River Bridge (Br# 38-45) in Stanislaus County. Route 132 between I-580 and the San Joaquin River, of which this project is a portion, was adopted as a freeway by the California Highway Commission (CHC) in 1961. In March 1992, the CTC mandated a "Special Study" of Route 132 between I-580 and Route 99 to "develop a long-range plan to Identify projects, estimate costs, and recommend priority sequence for construction of an expressway (with potential for a future freeway) before nominations for the 1994 STIP." The study was initiated in 1993 and was revised for the 1998 STIP to reflect current projects proposed for the Route 132 corridor between I-580 and Route 99, In July 1999, a Major Investment Study (MIS) was also completed for the State Route 132 corridor west of State Route 99.
