Phase 1 of work was fully funded and 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 updates

Rendering

Planned phase 2 improvements include:

Widening Washington Boulevard from two to four lanes, between Kaseberg Drive and Diamond Oaks Road; and
Replacing and widening the Union Pacific Railroad Andora bridge.

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. The City continues to pursue funding opportunities.

2019 Community Meeting

At the community meeting on June 11, 2019 proposed updates to phase 1 construction were shared with more than 95 attendees.

The California Transportation Commission (CTC) unanimously approved changes to phase 1 plans for the project to include features requested by the community. Valuable public feedback from this community meeting was shared with the CTC at its October 2019 meeting.

California Transportation Commission approval

In order to move forward with phase 1 construction, community support was necessary. The City was awarded an Active Transportation grant by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to partially fund the project's pedestrian and bike improvements.

Because the scope of phase 1 was revised to include the traffic signal and pathway south of Sawtell Road, the CTC wanted to know whether the public supported these enhancements.

The CTC considered the expanded project scope, along with community input from the public meeting, online survey, and other correspondence, and voted at the October 2019 meeting to approve the changes. Phase 1 construction is anticipated to begin in 2020.

About the Project

As part of the City of Roseville’s Traffic Master Plan, widening is planned for Washington Boulevard from Sawtell Road to Pleasant Grove Boulevard to improve traffic circulation and pedestrian traffic through the area.

Widening approximately one mile of Washington Boulevard from two to four lanes will better accommodate existing and future traffic volumes. Currently approximately 18,000 vehicles and 36 trains per day travel through this location.

Improvements will enhance accessibility for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists along Washington Boulevard and nearby intersections.

The project also includes the replacement and widening of the Union Pacific Railroad's Andora Bridge which crosses over Washington Boulevard.

This project includes a comprehensive public engagement effort which involves meeting with local businesses, residents, and schools.
