Budget hinders agencies building timely major roadways
Kern County Supervisor Jon McQuiston says state and county agencies are weighing placing Highway 58 within Shafter city limits and shifting the route north of 7 Standard Road. Caltrans requires spacing between interchanges, possibly one or two miles north of 7 Standard, as city officials push for a four lane widening and STIP studies. The plan includes a phased widening from Santa Fe Way to Coffee Road with a 2003–2005 timeline likely delayed by the state budget crisis, and a future extension toward Bakersfield Meadows Field Airport.
