Project Coordinator: Jack Witthaus
The existing Mathilda Avenue bridge, over the Caltrain railroad tracks and Evelyn Avenue, was rated Functionally Obsolete by Caltrans. This project provides for widening of the bridge and new
guard-rails to improve traffic lanes and pedestrian access on Mathilda Avenue; a new off-ramp to provide standard geometry and access to both eastbound and westbound Evelyn; new signalized
intersections at the new off-ramp and Evelyn, and at California and Mathilda; new parking along Evelyn and at the former bus depot; decorative lighting and wall design; and associated landscaping.
This project is subject to reimbursement from State/Federal funds. Funding has been granted for preliminary engineering, right-of-way acquisition, construction, and construction project
management. Construction began in November 2009 and is scheduled for completion in 2012.
Project Evaluation and Analysis
The project environmental document analyzed alternative approaches to addressing the bridge deficiencies. The proposed project meets all safety, access, environmental, and cost objectives and
will reduce liability exposure and improve access to downtown.
Fiscal Impact
The project is primarily funded by a Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) grant to pay for 88.53% of the total project costs. Matching funds are from Measure A funds and state and local grants.
The City has formal agreements for this project for Caltrans-administered Federal funding. The remaining project cost, the local matching funds, are provided by Measure A, Traffic Mitigation Fees
and Gas Tax.
