Chanticleer Ave. Cul-De-Sac to be Closed all Day Saturday, March 1 for Paving
Construction continues on a project to add north and southbound auxiliary lanes and bus-on-shoulder improvements on Highway 1 between the 41st Avenue and Soquel Drive interchanges and to aid in construction of a new bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing at Chanticleer Avenue.
Closure Chanticleer Ave. Cul-de-Sac
For Saturday, March 1, crews are scheduled to pave the Chanticleer Ave. cul-de-sac, adjacent to northbound Hwy. 1, from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm. Access will be closed just past the Santa Cruz SPCA offices. This work is weather dependent.
About the Highway 1 Corridor Project
This project will construct north and southbound auxiliary lanes and bus-on-
shoulder improvements between the 41st Avenue and Soquel Avenue/Drive interchanges and construct a new bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing at Chanticleer Avenue. The auxiliary lanes will connect the on-ramps with the next off-ramp, thereby extending the weaving and merging distance between the ramps, improving traffic operations, and reducing cut-through traffic diverting to local streets and neighborhoods.
The bicycle/pedestrian overcrossing at Chanticleer Avenue will provide an alternative route for bicyclists and pedestrians currently using the Soquel or 41st interchanges to cross over Highway 1. The overcrossing will be lighted, 12- to 14-feet wide, and will incorporate aesthetic treatments consistent with the visual character of the corridor and the adjacent community.
The contractor for this $29 million project is Granite Construction of Watsonville, CA. This project is expected to be completed in late 2025.
