*Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard Intersection Improvements Project – Construction Update*

O’Grady Paving Inc. has begun construction on the Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard Intersection Improvements Project (Project). The Project will widen the intersection at Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard to include additional left-turn and through vehicle lanes, traffic signal and streetlight replacements, pavement rehabilitation, bicycle lane improvements, and modifications to existing utilities including storm drain and Silicon Valley Power electrical and fiber optic facilities. The pavement rehabilitation on Great America Parkway will extend from the intersection south to Highway 101.

*This project requires partial 24-hour lane closures and pedestrian detours at the intersection of Great America Parkway and Mission College Boulevard. *Motorists should exercise caution and drive safely in this area. Due to continuous lane closures, it is highly recommended to avoid the intersection and use alternative routes during the construction period. The project is expected to be substantially complete by Fall 2025.
