MISSOURI FLAT ROAD INTERCHANGE

CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION PROGRAMS
$27.5 MILLION
TO MISSOURI FLAT PHASE 1B

The California Transportation Commission (CTC), at their May 2008 meeting, programmed $27.5 million in State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds to the Missouri Flat Interchange project for phase 1B.

“The CTC’s programming action reflects the State’s commitment to early delivery of this project,” said Kathryn Mathews, Executive Director of the El Dorado County Transportation Commission.

Phase 1B includes improvements to mainline U.S. Highway 50 and seismic and safety improvements to the Weber Creek Bridges. The project will increase interchange and mainline U.S. Highway 50 capacity and improve Level of Service from “F” to “B”.

Phase 1A is currently under construction and will be completed by the end of October, ahead of schedule. The approval of STIP funding at this time will allow the El Dorado County Transportation Commission to advance phase 1B immediately after phase 1A is complete, realizing a significant cost savings by not incurring any delay between project phases.
