Projects
132 West
The State Route (SR)132 East/West corridor serves as a major access route for an increasing number of central valley commuters traveling to work in and around Modesto as well as a major truck route. Motorists are experiencing a high level of congestion due to the limitations of the existing facilities, as well as an increase in interregional commuter and truck traffic.
This project will construct a four lane freeway/expressway to reroute SR 132 away from downtown. The expressway will extend from North Dakota Avenue to SR 99 and Needham Street along a new alignment. The proposed SR 132 turns south, following 5th Street and 6th Street along SR99 through downtown Modesto as a four to six lane couplet (one way street system), and finally turns east at Sierra Avenue and D Street, following D Street to the Yosemite Boulevard and 14th Street intersection as a four to six lane arterial. There are two interchange locations proposed by the project; at the extension of SR 132 West and Needham Street at SR 99, and at the extension of SR132 East and D Street at SR 99.
Highlights:
- Project will improve connectivity for SR132 and SR99 through the congested downtown area of the City of Modesto.
- Project will have a significant cost savings by making use of existing corridor right-of way purchased by the State for this project in late 1950's.
- Project construction phasing proposed to provide system improvements as funding allows, with the first phase project estimated at $110 million.
- First phase project work proceeding with a "ready for construction" target of 2015.

Project Benefits:
Completion of each project phase will improve regional and interregional circulation, provide congestion relief, enhance safety and improve operations for SR132 and SR99 and will provide a much needed east-west freeway/expressway in Modesto.
SR132 is a main east-west corridor in Stanislaus County and the central valley. It provides an interregional connection between Tracy and Modesto, serves as a connecting link between major freeway routes Interstate 580 (I-580), I-5, and SR99, and is a major truck route from Modesto to the Livermore Valley and the Bay Area.

SR 219 (Kiernan Avenue):
This project is a cooperative effort between Stanislaus County, City of Modesto, Caltrans, and StanCOG. Phase I of the SR 219 Project has been completed from the Sisk Road intersection to Dale Road. The facility is a 4-lane divided highway with right-of-way for eventual expansion to 6-lanes to accommodate future needs. The project improved the signalized intersections at Sisk Road, Stoddard Road and Dale Road. Currently, right-of-way is being completed for Phase II of the project which will complete the improvements from Dale Road to SR 108 (McHenry Avenue). Construction of Phase II is scheduled to begin in 2012.
