Construction continues on a project to construct north and southbound auxiliary lanes and bus-on-shoulder improvements on Highway 1 between the 41st Avenue and Soquel Drive interchanges and to construct a new bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing at Chanticleer Avenue.
Single Lane Overnight Closures of North and Southbound Hwy. 1
For Tuesday Sept. 3, Wednesday Sept. 4, and Thursday Sept. 5, travelers will encounter the closure of a single lane of both north and southbound Hwy. 1 between 41st Ave and Soquel Dr. These lane closures will be in effect between 9 pm and 5:30 am. Travelers can expect delays of up to 10 minutes.
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.
