Tri-Link May Relieve Congestion on I-580 and Vasco Road
The city of Livermore is holding an open house Tuesday night to discuss the potential new State Route 239.
Traffic is a major source of frustration in the Tri-Valley and I-580 is one of the worst offenders.
On Tuesday, Nov. 12, 6:30 pm in Livermore City Council Chambers (3575 Pacific Ave.) the city of Livermore invites residents to come out and hear about a potential new transportation corridor that may ease traffic along I-580 and Vasco Road.
According to the TriLink website, the study on State Route 239 or "TriLink" aims at looking at the possibility of creating a transportation link between Brentwood to the I-580/205 corridor near Tracy with improvements such as
- an airport connector between Vasco Road and the Byron Highway;
- a south link along the Byron Highway from the airport south to I-205 near Tracy;
- a north link from SR-4 south of Brentwood to the Byron Highway north of the airport;
- an I-580 link south from SR-4;
- a transit link connection to existing or planned facilities; and
- new bicycle facilities within the corridor.
The estimated capital cost of the TriLink improvements are in excess of $750 million, according to TriLink (State Route 239) Feasibility Draft Study Report released in September.
Construction of the project, if approved, would take place over the next 30 years.
