AN OFFICIAL RIBBON CUTTING WAS HELD TODAY FOR A HIGHWAY 1 PROJECT THAT CAME IN ON-TIME AND ON-BUDGET. THE ROADWORK INCLUDED ADDING NEW EXIT LANES. FROM HIGHWAY 1 BETWEEN SOQUEL DRIVE AND MORRISSEY BOULEVARD, AS WELL AS A COMPLETE REBUILD OF THE LA FONDA BRIDGE AND OVERCROSSING. THE NEXT PROJECT WOULD ADD NEW EXIT LANES BETWEEN SOQUEL DRIVE AND 41ST AVENUE, AS WELL AS A NEW BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OVER HIGHWAY 1 AT CHANTICLEER. ALTHOUGH FUNDING STILL NEEDS TO BE SECURED FOR THAT WORK, AN ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THAT PROJECT IS UNDERWAY.
