US 101 South of Salinas Corridor Improvement Project – Conceptual 3D Model (Long-Term Project)

Описание: US 101 South of Salinas Corridor Improvement Project – Conceptual 3D Model:

This video features a conceptual 3D visualization of a possible future build-out of the US 101 South of Salinas Corridor Improvement Project. It is intended to help the public better understand how the corridor could look and function in the future.

The model shows one scenario currently being studied as part of the environmental review process. It includes a new interchange north of Chualar, a new Abbott Street interchange located north of the existing interchange, and a full frontage road system on both sides of US 101 between Salinas and Chualar. The existing Abbott Street interchange is shown as removed.

Two potential locations (A4 and A6) are illustrated for the new Abbott Street interchange. These options reflect refined alternatives developed with community input and consideration of nearby properties and farmland.

Some interchanges are shown using a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) design, which improves traffic flow and safety. A separate video is available explaining how this interchange type works.

⚠️ Please note: This 3D model is an early draft based on information available in October 2025 and is not a final design. Project details may change as studies and design continue.
