Officials at this week’s San Benito County Board of Supervisors announced that all of the work to install a median barrier on Highway 25 between Hollister and Gilroy is a week or two from completion.
The $10.5 million project to widen Hwy. 25 and install a concrete median barrier on the Hollister to Gilroy route started about 14 months ago.
The highway has been widened to accommodate the installation of a concrete median barrier from Hudner Lane north to Shore Road and from just north of Shore to the Santa Clara County line. Several private driveways along the road are being closed to decrease the number of access points along the highway, minimizing conflicts between through traffic and slow-moving vehicles entering the roadway, according to the San Benito County Council of Governments, which has overseen the work.
Officials had hoped to finish the work by May or June, but weather issues slowed down the construction.
