Overview
In South San Jose, this project will widen and improve Blossom Hill Road at the U.S. 101 interchange. The City of San Jose is the project sponsor.

Objective
To improve traffic flow through the interchange and to accommodate anticipated traffic demand associated with the Edenvale Redevelopment Project.

Project Features
This project will include the following:

• Widening the Blossom Hill Road overcrossing structure over U.S. 101 and constructing an additional lane in each direction
