CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
February 2020
On February 18, 2020, the City of Modesto will begin the excavation and containment of contaminated soils at the State Route 132 Site in Modesto. This movement will be overseen by Caltrans and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).
The Site, located just east and west of the Highway 99/Kansas Avenue off-ramp, consists of three large soil stockpiles containing the metals barium and lead. The stockpiles have been located at the Site since the early 1960s. One stockpile and a portion of another will be moved from their current location to facilitate construction of State Route 132. Movement of the stockpiles is planned to start on February 18, 2020.
Most of the work will be completed in about one month.
During the soil movement work, the community can expect to see increased truck traffic on Kansas Avenue between Franklin Street and Emerald Avenue and the presence of signs alerting drivers to the construction effort. No road closures are anticipated but the presence of work crews and the signage will continue throughout the Phase 1 construction.
