Project No. 3038 – West Leland Road Extension Phase II

Project No. 3038, the West Leland Road Extension Phase II, is a public works initiative by the City of Pittsburg in Contra Costa County, California. The project involves extending West Leland Road approximately 0.6 miles from its current terminus near Santa Teresa Drive to connect with the Avila Road terminus, effectively linking the city limits of Pittsburg and Concord. The new roadway will feature four lanes with a raised median, sidewalks, landscaping, street lighting, and bicycle facilities, utilizing a total right-of-way of approximately 100 feet. Additionally, the project includes the grading of a 61.7-acre parcel south of the roadway to provide fill soil for the construction area. The project is currently in the environmental review phase under CEQA and NEPA guidelines, with the City of Pittsburg serving as the lead agency. An Environmental Impact Report is being developed to address key areas including aesthetics, air quality, geology, soils, hydrology, water quality, and noise. Coordination involves several trustee agencies, including the Bay Area Air Resource Board, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the East Contra Costa Housing Council, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction.
