State Route 99 - Goshen to Kingsburg Widening Project

The project will add lanes to increase the capacity of the freeway to accommodate current and future traffic volumes on State Route 99 which are expected to double between the years 2010 and 2040. This project is consistent with the Route Concept, the Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan, the Route 99 Business Plan, the Corridor System Management Plan, and the Tulare and Fresno Regional Transportation Plans. It continues the objective of widening all of State Route 99 to a minimum of a six- lane freeway throughout the San Joaquin Valley.

State Route 180 East - Kings Canyon Expressway

This project proposes to construct the new 4-lane Kings Canyon Expressway from just east of Temperance Avenue to Quality Avenue on a 6-lane right of way alignment. This segment will complete over 6 miles of NEW Expressway on SR180 that will safely transport local goods, daily commuters and Valley tourists traveling throughout Fresno County. With the extension of segments beyond this 4-lane expressway in the near future, this route will continue to be improved eastward and serves as the gateway to Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Parks.

State Route 198 - Hanford Expressway Project

This $50 million dollar project will convert an approximate 10 mile section of existing two lane conventional highway to a four lane controlled access expressway.The project limits are in Kings and Tulare Counties from east of State Route 43 in Hanford to west of State Route 99 near Visalia. Approximately 7 miles are in Kings County, with approximately 3 miles in Tulare County. Construction is set to be completed in the Spring of 2012.
