DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the widening of San Ramon
Road between Vomac Road and Silvergate Drive from two to four lanes and is
the final phase of the San Ramon Road Improvements project. Included are
roadside and median landscaping, street lighting, low soundwalls at the edge
of the road, reconstruction of the traffic signal at Shannon Avenue, and a
soils study to determine whether landscaping of the public right-of-way
portion of the western hillside along San Ramon Road is feasible.
The project is estimated to be under construction for eight months, running
from the end of November '90 to the end of July '91. Two lanes of traffic
will remain open during construction.
It was hoped to have this project bid last spring; however, due to the
lengthy processing time with Caltrans, the project has just now been given
clearance to bid.
