NAPA COUNTY – Caltrans and its local stakeholders have activated a new traffic signal light on State Route 29 (SR-29) at Grayson Avenue in St. Helena.
The new traffic signal light was activated on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at approximately 11:00 AM. The signal light was originally scheduled to be activated on November 2 but was postponed because of rain, additional electrical work and testing.

Motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to travel through this intersection near St. Helena High School with extra caution as this is a time of adjustment for everyone. CHP will be patrolling the area.
The new signal light is part of the SR-29 Channelization Project and was completed through a joint effort between the City of St. Helena and Caltrans.
Major construction of the Channelization Project was completed last month. The project rehabilitates the pavement on SR-29 on and near St. Helena, provides a continuous 2-way left turn lane and reconstructs the bike path adjacent to SR-29 near Whitehall Lane.

New I-80 SMART Corridor- Ribbon Cutting Sept 19, 2016
State of California • Department of Transportation __________________________________________________________
NEWS RELEASE
Date: September 19, 2016
District: District 4 - Oakland
Contact: Shannon Brinias
Phone: (510) 286-5543
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RIBBON CUTTING CELEBRATES NEW I-80 SMART CORRIDOR
Project Brings Innovation and Technology Improvements to East Bay Area
ALAMEDA COUNTY/CONTRA COSTA COUNTY – The I-80 SMART Corridor Project has officially completed activation, marked by a ribbon cutting celebration in Emeryville today. This new integrated network brings technologically advanced tools, state-of-the-art signage and active traffic management to enhance safety and optimize operations of one of the most-heavily traveled corridors in Northern California.
“This project brings enhanced safety and freeway optimization to the 270,000 daily motorists in a corridor that badly needed help,” said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. “We did it using technology and collaboration, without adding more lanes of pavement and through project partnership, all while remaining under budget.”
Elements of the SMART Corridor, an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), started to come online in July, with other elements phased in over the intervening weeks. The corridor between the Carquinez Bridge and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is ranked one of the 10 worst commutes in the state, with an average of 25 lane-blocking collisions/incidents weekly.
“Today is a great day for celebrating sustainable solutions to transportation problems. Seeking innovative advances and turning to technology to optimize freeway performance are the best ways now to bring safety, mobility and travel time reliability for users. Everyone traveling I-80 between the Carquinez Bridge in Crockett and the Bay Bridge benefits,” continued Dougherty. “The partnerships that brought this project to fruition serve as a model for expanding on SMART Corridors in the future.”
Caltrans’ project partners are the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, Alameda County Transportation Commission, Contra Costa Transportation Commission and West Contra Costa County Transportation Advisory Committee.
During this multi-year project, 159 new electronic signs were installed, with the ability to display variable graphical symbol messages to give emergency responders faster access routes and guide motorists and transit through areas of incident-related congestion. Adaptive ramp meters were activated at 43 ramps within the 20-mile corridor.
System monitoring is centralized at the Caltrans Coastal Transportation Management Center in Oakland, where data and information is shared with local municipalities around-the-clock. Incident Management includes freeway lane management and response plans encompassing the state highways and local roads. Studies are planned to examine ramp metering effectiveness and corridor performance measures.
The project utilizes the most up-to-date energy-efficient LED sign technology. By focusing on energy sustainability, project designers reduced maintenance needs and energy consumption.
The project also brought $20 million in improvements to State Route 123/San Pablo Avenue. Updating signal lights with new systems to allow for centralized control gives traffic managers the ability to “flush” the system during a collision-caused congestion crisis, giving better throughput for the overall corridor.
“We can’t build more freeways, but we can use technology to help us improve safety, the flow of traffic and empower travelers to make informed decisions,” said Contra Costa Transportation Authority Vice-Chairand Richmond Mayor Tom Butt. “Richmond is right at the center of dealing with regional transportation issues and is a key hub bisected by two major interstates and transcontinental rail lines. Along with launching ferry service from Richmond next year, we are very proud of this innovative solution to help drivers spend less time stuck in their cars.”
The $79 million project received $65 million from Proposition 1B, a 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. To date, more than $19 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been used statewide for transportation purposes. The project was also funded by local voter-approved sales tax dollars from Measure B in Alameda County and Measure J in Contra Costa County.
“By making I-80 smarter, we are making it work better for everyone — commuters, goods movement, transit, carpools, and local road users,” said Alameda CTC Chair Rebecca Kaplan. “The commitment of local voters who passed both the Alameda and Contra Costa County sales tax measures, as well as the state bonds in 2006, is what made this critical work possible. We are proud to work together to bring these solutions to our communities to make sure people can reliably get where they need to go — to work, to education or to families.”

SR-29 Napa Valley Channelization Project Complete
State of California • Department of Transportation
NEWS RELEASE
Date: September 1, 2016
District: District 4 – Oakland
Contact: Vince Jacala
Phone: (510) 286-5206
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
State Route 29-Napa Valley Channelization Project Complete
Bringing Increased Safety
NAPA COUNTY — Caltrans joined the Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA), Napa County, the city of St. Helena, and the Napa Valley Wine Train today for a ribbon cutting celebration for the $16.7 million State Route 29-Channelization Project, which brings multiple safety improvements for this vital Napa Valley artery.
The project widened SR-29 between Mee Lane in Napa County and Charter Oak Avenue in the city of St. Helena. It also rehabilitated the pavement, widened the highway shoulders to standard width and constructed a new two-way left turn lane. These improvements now make it safer and more convenient for motorists entering and exiting nearby businesses, homes and tourist destinations. It also improves the Highway 29 intersection at Whitehall Lane which makes it safer for motorists and train traffic, as well as for the cyclists who now have a dedicated bike path.
“This $16.7 million investment in our infrastructure is money well spent,” said Caltrans District Director Bijan Sartipi. “Residents, businesses, and Napa Valley visitors will now benefit from improved safety and shorter travel times.”
The project also benefitted from collaborative innovation which Caltrans and its contractor San Rafael based Ghilotti Brothers Inc. implemented during construction, which started in June 2015.
“Our construction team was also able to decrease the use of temporary concrete barriers and temporary paving,” noted Sartipi. “This improved access to businesses during construction and reduced construction time.”
With this innovation, Caltrans and its project partners worked together to deliver these improvements to the public. It’s a culmination of several years of partnering and planning.
“It’s been incredible to see such an impressive display of collaboration across all levels of government for such a sustained period of time on this crucial project,” said Rep. Mike Thompson. “As a lifelong St. Helena resident and one of the approximate 22,000 drivers who travel on Highway 29 every day, I join our entire county in looking forward to seeing
construction completed and traffic conditions improve.”
“We appreciate the patience of our county residents during construction. It’s been a long process to bring this project to completion,” said Napa County Supervisor Diane Dillon. “But these major improvements will benefit the upper Napa Valley and the entire region for many years to come.”
Peter White, Napa Valley Transportation Authority Chair said, “This project has truly been decades in the making. The county worked in partnership with Caltrans and several other agencies from the start with planning all the way through construction. So it is satisfying to see the direct benefits to our county residents and region.”
Alan Galbraith, Mayor of St. Helena said, “I want to thank Caltrans and everyone who worked on this very important project. Residents of St. Helena have been waiting awhile to see these improvements, and now that they’re here, travel through our region will be much safer with reduced traffic back-ups.”
