Beginning Thursday, August 29, Hollister Avenue traffic lanes between the southbound Highway 217 offramp and Kellogg Avenue will be adjusted to accommodate a safe working space for Project Connect construction of the new Hollister Avenue Bridge over San Jose Creek.
All traffic will shift to the south side of Hollister Avenue and be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction. Construction crews will be working in the northside Hollister Avenue lanes. This work and the associated traffic shift are scheduled for approximately six months.
Additionally, early morning on Thursday, August 29, as the Hollister Avenue lane shifts are implemented, the traffic signals at Ward Drive and Dearborn Place will flash red. This will cause major traffic impacts.
Hollister Avenue should be avoided if possible on Thursday, August 29 while signals are flashing.
Those driving on Hollister Avenue should plan for additional travel time. The signals will return to normal operations the evening of August 29.
Please move through the area with caution and care as the new lane alignment will require an adjustment period. Share the road with pedestrians and bicyclists and reduce speeds for safety.
