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.

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.

Objective

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

Operations

Upon completion, Caltrans will operate and maintain the improved highway interchanges. The City of San Jose will operate and maintain the local streets outside of Caltrans right-of-way limits.

Capital Cost/Project Funding

$64.6 million (currently not fully funded) /$54.2 million is currently funded in a combination of 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 as well as the eastern half of the I-880/Stevens Creek Boulevard Interchange.  Project partners continue to seek additional funding for the remaining portion of the project, which includes the western half of I-880/Stevens Creek Boulevard Interchange including the Monroe Loop off-ramp from southbound I-880.
