Construction Update: I-880 Widening Project
Temporary Brokaw Road On-ramp Closure
What: Temporary closure of the Brokaw Road on-ramp to northbound I-880.
Where: Brokaw Road on-ramp to northbound I-880
Westbound Brokaw Road traffic intending to use the northbound I-880
on-ramp will be detoured north on Old Oakland Road, to Montague Expressway,
then west to northbound I-880.
Why: Closure of the on-ramp is necessary to build a new I-880 bridge
over Brokaw Road and Coyote Creek within the environmental timeline for
work in the Coyote Creek area.
1996 Measure B Transportation Improvement Program
VTA is the implementing agency for the 1996 Measure B Transportation Improvement
Program. This program is made possible by Santa Clara County voters, who
in 1996 approved a half-cent sales tax measure to fund a specific package
of countywide transportation improvement projects. The sales tax is under
the management of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors and is expected
to raise $1.6 billion over a nine-year time frame.
