Phase 1 construction anticipated in 2020

The first phase of Washington Boulevard/Andora Widening Project construction is projected to begin in 2020. The California Transportation Commission unanimously approved updates to phase 1 plans for the project. Valuable public feedback was shared with the commission at its October meeting.

Phase 1 Improvements include:

• Installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Kaseberg Drive;

• Widening Washington Boulevard from two to four lanes between Sawtell Road and Kaseberg Drive, as well as between Diamond Oaks Road and Pleasant Grove Boulevard;

• Improving signalized intersections along Washington Boulevard;

• Constructing a new multi-use trail long the east side of Washington Boulevard, from Pleasant Grove Boulevard to All America City Boulevard; and

• Enhancing the current bicycle and pedestrian railroad under-crossing.

Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report will be considered at the Wednesday, October 23 City Council meeting.

Phase 1 work is fully funded and will be paid for with a $2.2 million California Transportation Commission Active Transportation grant, $1.1 million in state Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality program funds, and $2 million in local funding from the City of Roseville. 

Future phase 2 improvements

The total cost of phase 2 requires approximately $30 million. A significant portion of this amount includes building a temporary shoofly to allow continued rail operations during construction of a new wider railroad bridge.

Despite applying for a variety of competitive state and federal funds, the necessary funding is not yet available for phase 2. 

Planned phase 2 improvements include: 

• Widening Washington Boulevard from two to four lanes, between Kaseberg Drive and Diamond Oaks Road; and
   
• Replacing the existing Union Pacific Railroad Andora bridge with a new wider bridge.
