10-1V140-Electrical Upgrades

The California Department of Transportation, District 10 - Stockton, is planning to upgrade electrical infrastructure at six locations along Route 99 in Stanislaus County, primarily centered around Modesto. The project focuses on replacing outdated and degraded primary components, including controllers and cabinets, at each signal location to restore reliable operation of the existing traffic management system. All work will be conducted strictly within the state’s right of way to minimize disruption and avoid new land use. The goal is to ensure the system maintains the necessary performance standards for real-time communication with Caltrans and the traveling public, supporting safe and efficient traffic flow. This initiative is a maintenance effort aimed at preserving critical transportation infrastructure rather than expanding it. The contract, identified as 10-1V140-Electrical Upgrades, was posted on July 9, 2026, and the primary point of contact is Ishnav Guleria, Associate Environmental Planner, who can be reached via phone or email for further inquiries. The project does not involve new construction outside existing boundaries, nor does it include significant changes to the system’s function beyond replacement of failing components. It underscores Caltrans’ ongoing commitment to sustaining the reliability of its traffic management network in a high-traffic corridor.
