The project will focus on 3 miles of the I-215 mainline and approximately 12 miles of ramps between State Road 201, I-80, and California Avenue.

A total of 22 bridges will undergo deck work; ten using hydro-demolition, eight through standard removal and replacement, and four receiving pothole repair.

In addition to bridge work, Granite will pave more than 175,000 tons of highly modified hot mix asphalt (HMA) along the corridor and another 5,000 tons of temporary HMA for traffic control.

Crews will also install roughly 22,000 linear feet of new storm drain and upgrade ramp metering infrastructure at California Avenue.

Work is scheduled to begin in August 2025 and continue through November 2026.
