Alameda County Congestion Management Agency


		Projects

Alameda County’s freeways and highways remain the most congested in the nine-county Bay Area. Maintaining the existing system while expanding its capacity and efficiency will require creative transportation strategies. Building off past successes, the CMA looks forward to initiating a number of innovative projects and programs. Below are a few of the current and upcoming projects which the CMA will implement. Please review the latest Capital Expenditure Report (CEP) for more details. (Shown to the left.)

Regional Measure 2 Projects

Regional Measure 2 (RM2), approved by Bay Area voters in March 2004, increased the tolls on State owned bridges to $3. The legislation is expected to generate $3 billion over 35 years. These revenues are dedicated to specific transportation capital projects and operating funds for selected transit operators. RM2 includes several elements that identify the CMA as the sponsor or co-sponsor.

The second phase of the project, widening of the shoulders for an HOV lane between Route 84 and Route 237 was completed in 2002. The CMA is currently managing the construction of soundwalls that have been identified in the environmental document. Construction of these walls is underway and scheduled to be completed in the Fall of 2005. Additional project information can be found at the Caltrans project Hotline: 510-286-5910.
