US 101/Zanker Road/Skyport Drive/Fourth Street Improvement Project

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in cooperation with the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) and the City of San José, proposes to construct improvements on US Highway 101 (US 101) and adjacent local roadways in San José. The Project includes constructing a new overcrossing above US 101 connecting Zanker Road on the north with Fourth Street and Skyport Drive on the south, replacing nonstandard ramps on northbound US 101 at Old Bayshore Highway and Brokaw Road with new ramps at Bering Drive, widening local roadways to accommodate the overcrossing and ramp modifications, and incorporating bicycle and pedestrian facilities into the project design.
