Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project

The Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project is a forecast procurement by the Santa Clara County Roads and Airports Department in California. Located in Santa Clara, specifically between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, the project focuses on rehabilitating the expressway to benefit the traveling public. The scope of work includes partial depth recycling, HMA overlay, pavement repairs, and the installation of new traffic stripes, markings, markers, and signs. Additionally, the project encompasses ADA improvements, the installation of new sidewalks, curb and gutters, the removal and replacement of existing metal beam guardrails, and the installation of a new bioretention basin. Further technical improvements include the upgrading of signal facilities at the Bowers and Scott intersections, specifically involving traffic loop replacements. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction. According to the Notice of Exemption filed on July 6, 2026, the project is claimed under Section 15301, Class 1(C), as it is limited to the repair and overlay of an existing roadway without altering its size, purpose, or capacity. Ermias Gizaw, Assistant Civil Engineer, serves as the primary point of contact for this initiative.
