Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project

The Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project involves comprehensive upgrades to improve safety, accessibility, and infrastructure along the expressway in Santa Clara, California. Work includes partial depth recycling and hot mix asphalt overlay to restore pavement integrity, along with targeted pavement repairs, new traffic striping and markings, updated signage, and ADA-compliant improvements. The project also entails new sidewalk and curb & gutter installation, replacement of existing metal beam guardrails, and construction of a new bioretention basin to enhance stormwater management. Signal facilities at the Bowers and Scott intersections will be improved with traffic loop replacements, and additional work as specified in the project plans will be executed to meet all regulatory and performance standards. The primary beneficiaries of this initiative are the traveling public, with the improvements aimed at increasing road safety, reducing maintenance needs, and promoting accessible transportation infrastructure. The project is being managed by Santa Clara County through its California-based office, with Ermias Gizaw, Assistant Civil Engineer, serving as the primary point of contact. Identified by the project link and posted in July 2026, this forecasted initiative reflects a strategic effort to modernize critical transportation assets in the region, ensuring the expressway meets current and future mobility demands.
