The long-awaited redesign of the Eastshore Freeway interchange at Gilman Street is nearing completion after 10 years and a $75 million investment. This weekend, significant detours will be in place due to ongoing construction, including the removal of old curbs. The project includes improvements such as a new pedestrian bridge and roundabouts to enhance traffic flow. While initial completion was expected last year, delays from winter rains have pushed the timeline to March, with a groundbreaking event scheduled for late April.
Drivers using the Gilman Street interchange this weekend will confront yet another detour as work on the long-standing redesign project nears its conclusion, promising significant traffic improvements.
The ten-year, $75 million redesign incorporates safety enhancements, two new roundabouts for improved traffic flow, and a pedestrian bridge, aiming to alleviate long-standing congestion issues.
Despite initial plans to complete the project by the end of last year, unavoidable winter precipitation led to delays, extending the timeline to a projected completion in March.
With ongoing construction resulting in temporary closures, Caltrans has been coordinating detours while ensuring local residents and businesses maintain access through flaggers.
