Highway 12-Jameson Canyon Road Widening Project

Updates

To safely accommodate the increasing number of motorists traveling between Napa and Solano Counties, Caltrans is working with the Napa County Transportation and Planning Agency (NCTPA) and the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) to widen a 5.8-mile stretch of State Route 12 through Jameson Canyon Road from a two-lane highway to a four-lane highway. The project extends from Highway Route 12 from the Highway 29 & Highway 12 junction in Napa County to Red Top Road & Highway 12 in Solano County. The project will also add a concrete median along the project route. Once completed, the project will improve safety and travel times throughout the region.

Constructing a concrete median along the project’s 5.8-mile stretch
Improving sight distance

The Highway 12-Jameson Canyon Road Widening Project includes two construction packages; The Napa County contract and the Solano County contract. The project is funded by the Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA), the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), and Proposition 1B. The entire project will cost approximately $115 million.

The Napa County segment is scheduled for completion in August 2013. The Solano County segment is scheduled to be completed by June 2015. The completion of the Solano portion will mark the final completion of the entire project.

The majority of construction work is scheduled for after April 1st 2012, between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5 a.m. During this time, Caltrans will schedule overnight closures to State Route 12 with alternative routes posted. Motorists are advised to expect delays during partial closures and will be directed to alternate routes during full closures.
