I-280/I-880/Stevens Creek Boulevard Project
Overview
The project proposes to improve traffic flow, safety and access between the Interstate 280
(I-280) and Interstate 880 (I-880) freeway corridors near Stevens Creek Boulevard, including
modifications to the freeway-to-freeway intersection of I-280/I-880 freeway interchange, as
well as the adjacent interchanges at I-880/Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Specific improvements include:
•
Reconfiguring the existing full cloverleaf I-880/Stevens Creek Boulevard interchange
to improve traffic flow in the surrounding interchange area by widening and realigning
ramps, widening the overcrossing structure at Stevens Creek Boulevard over I-880,
improving intersections and providing enhanced access for pedestrians and bicyclists.
•
Separating freeway-to-freeway traffic from local traffic by constructing a new direct
connector from northbound I-280 to northbound I-880.
•
Constructing direct off-ramp to Monroe Street from southbound I-880.
Objective
To improve overall safety and traffic flow, enhance pedestrian friendly features along Stevens Creek Blvd., separate regional freeway-to-freeway traffic from local traffic and
reduce queuing and traffic backups onto northbound I-280 from the connecting ramps to I-880 and Stevens Creek Blvd.
Operations
Upon completion, Caltrans will operate and maintain the improved highway interchanges.
The City of San Jose will operate and maintain the local streets outside of Caltrans rightof-way limits.
Capital Cost/Project Funding
$62.1 million (a combination of federal, CMIA, City of San Jose and VTA funds) have been
designated for the Project.
