Meeting scheduled on Highway 101/25 interchange project
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is holding a virtual meeting to update the public on the Highway 101/25 Interchange project.
Phase 1 of the project, expected to begin in summer 2023, will reconstruct the interchange slightly north of the current interchange, replacing the Highway 25 two-lane overcrossing with a four-lane overcrossing spanning across Highway 101. It would also increase the length of the southbound Highway 101 off-ramp to Highway 25 to decrease traffic back-ups onto 101.
The meeting will be held over Zoom on June 9 at 6pm. Spanish translation will be provided.
