Traffic Eased in Fresno California with New Stretch of Expressway
The California Department of Transportation recently announced completion of a new six-mile stretch of expressway for the southeast area of Fresno.
The $68 million project, paid for in part with $18 million of Recovery funds, added a four-lane section of highway to Kings Canyon Expressway, also known as State Route 180 East – a heavily congested traffic artery connecting different parts of Fresno County.
“The route serves as the primary agricultural goods movement corridor in eastern Fresno County and is of growing importance for commute travel from the surrounding rural areas and neighboring communities to the Fresno metropolitan area,” says California DOT.
The new expressway “will significantly reduce traffic congestion,” the agency adds.
