Overview

The project proposes to improve traffic flow, safety and access between the Interstate 280 (I-280) and Interstate 880 (I-880) freeway corridors near Stevens Creek Boulevard, including modifications to the freeway-to-freeway intersection of State Route 17 (SR-17)/I-280/I-880 freeway interchange, as well as the adjacent interchanges at I-880/Stevens Creek Boulevard and I-280/Winchester Boulevard.

Specific improvements include:

• Reconfiguring the existing full cloverleaf I-880/Stevens Creek Boulevard interchange to improve traffic flow in the surrounding interchange area by widening and realigning ramps, widening the overcrossing structure at Stevens Creek Boulevard over I-880, improving intersections and providing enhanced access for pedestrians and bicyclists.
• Separating freeway-to-freeway traffic from local traffic by constructing a new direct connector from northbound I-280 to northbound I-880.
• Constructing a new northbound I-280 off-ramp at Winchester Boulevard (future phase)

Objective

To improve overall safety and traffic flow, enhance pedestrian friendly features along Stevens Creek Boulevard, separate regional freeway-to-freeway traffic from local traffic and reduce queuing and traffic backups onto northbound I-280 from I-880 and Stevens Creek Blvd.

Operations

Upon completion, Caltrans will operate and maintain the improved highway terchanges. The City of San Jose  will operate and maintain the local streets.

Capital Cost/Project Funding

$130-$150 million (currently not fully funded). $54 million in federal, CMIA, City of San Jose and VTA funds have been designated for an initial phase focused on the northbound I-280 to the northbound I-880 connection and the I-880/Stevens Creek Boulevard improvements.
