Current Projects

Project Purpose:
The general purpose of these improvements is to enhance the existing interchange operations and safety, and to accommodate current and future capacity needs. With the anticipated increase in traffic resulting from the Spanos Developments east and west of I-5, and other developments in the North Stockton area, these interchange improvements are essential to facilitate acceptable level of service (LOS) operations and improve safety at the interchange.

Project Description:
The project proposes to widen Eight-Mile Road to an eight-lane facility through the I-5 interchange and add approach and departure lanes at the freeway ramps/surface street intersections. The project also includes traffic signal installations at both intersections of Eight Mile Road and access ramps. The project will reconstruct the northbound and southbound off-ramps to two lanes and will also widen the northbound on-ramp to two lanes and the southbound on-ramp to allow for three lanes with ramp metering.

A public art component consisting of an oak tree branches relief pattern is also incorporated in the tie-back-wall construction.

Construction began in April 2004 with completion expected mid-September 2005.

Funding for this project is provided through the City's Public Facilities Fee program and is estimated at $10,425,000.
