The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in cooperation with Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), and the City of San José, proposes the State Route 87 (SR 87)/Capitol Expressway Interchange Improvement Project to construct improvements between the SR 87/Capitol Expressway Interchange and Narvaez Avenue in the City.
Proposed improvements include, but are not limited to reconfiguring the existing SR 87/Capitol Expressway Interchange with new northbound ramps that connect directly to Capitol Expressway; closing the existing northbound SR 87 on-ramps at Narvaez Avenue; reconfiguring the existing signalized intersection on Narvaez Avenue; and building retaining walls, soundwalls, and barriers, as needed.

Community Outreach
VTA delivers outreach to the community in many ways, from email, web page posting like this, signage, tabling at events, presenting at your neighborhood association, and by mail notifications, to name a few.
