State OKs 2-Lane Eastshore Addition
The State Highway Commission approved 32,050,000 for widening the Eastshore Freeway from four to six lanes between High Street Oakland and San Lorenzo. The project aims to relieve heavy rush hour traffic on a 7.4 mile stretch with a 36 foot divider, adding two 12 foot lanes while preserving a median. Completion will follow Castro Valley cutoff progress, with bids expected in two months. Local commuters in Southern Alameda County will benefit from the larger capacity and reduced bottlenecks.
