The plan for the Highway1/Imjin Parkway
interchange came back from Cal Trans' final review with comments and
the City of Marina is in the process of negotiating its response.
The on- and off-ramps that usher
traffic from Highway 1 to Imjin Parkway in Marina will be getting
design improvements in the next few months though no start date has
yet been set, a city engineer said work on the project may commence
sometime this summer.
Since Caltrans owns the freeway right
of way, all proposed Imjin Parkway interchange modifications with
Highway 1 require its approval.
The existing intersection was
constructed in the mid-60s and has not been modified since with the
exception of the northbound ramp which was part of the Fort Ord Reuse
Authority “Imjin Parkway Reconstruction Project.”
The project includes two traffic
signals at the northbound and southbound ramp intersections with
Imjin Parkway. It also includes the removal of existing northbound
and eastbound free-right turn lanes, the widening of the Imjin
Parkway northbound off-ramp terminal and all associated signing and
striping at the Highway 1/Imjin Parkway interchange.
The city is also in talks with PG&E
to coordinate any safety improvement projects or work to be done on a
gas line that runs through that area at the same time the ramp work is to be done.
