Caltrans gives go-ahead for Highway 99 widening project
Caltrans gives go-ahead for Highway 99 widening project: “A 10.5-mile stretch of Highway 99 through Merced County will be widened to six lanes, Caltrans announced Thursday.”
My beautifull wife and I were talking about this as we were getting ready for work this morning. The widening project is being funded by Proposition 1B. When the 1B campaign was being run, it was presented, in my opinion, as if the funds that the bond measures would provide were essentially preallocated. Indeed, up and down Merced County were signs saying “Fix 99 – Vote yes on 1B”. Indeed I passed some remaining signs today.
