August 2020
Work is progressing with bridge construction on the SR 132 West Expressway! Both the North Rosemore Ave Overcrossing and the North Carpenter Road Overcrossing are beginning to take shape.
Check out some of the bridge overcrossing progress pictures in the photo gallery to the left.
June 2020
Thanks to Bay Cities Construction, you can view the progress of the SR 132 West project from the crews' point of view!
The City of Modesto and project team want to thank all of you, our community, for your patience during construction work. This video is to showcase the work you've been seeing progress for the past several months!
May 2020
At the end of April into May, Crews began pile driving on Rosemore Avenue, ahead of schedule! To help reduce noise, crews used a Hydraulic Pile Driver. For more information on the pile driving work throughout the project, please see the messaging above.
For now, watch the video to the left and see how a hydraulic pile driver works up close!
Crews have been hard at work this month! The first photo in the gallery to the left shows crews pouring a concrete bridge column. The second photo shows the finished subgrade and the shoulder of the new alignment.
The second two photos are from May 20, 2020, and show the placement of the first Cast-In-Drilled hole pile. The contractor is placing reinforcing steel cage and performing reinforcing splicing using steel couplers. The entire operation took about 15 hours to complete.
Finally, see what these concrete columns look like that will support the bridge over Highway 99!
2020
Crews have been hard at work, even during these unprecedented times of COVID-19. Watch the drone videos below, produced by one of the project's neighbors! Watch the entire progress of construction (left), and the Carpenter Road realignment progress from the 4/26/2020 58-hour closure on Carpenter Road (right).
March 2020
Intermittent rainy weather this March has been no match for construction for Phase I of the State Route 132 West project.
During the COVID-19 'Stay-at-Home' order, construction is exempt. Crews will continue working through April 2020 to keep on schedule, unless otherwise noted. The project team and City of Modesto thanks our neighbors for your patience during this work.

February 2020
Construction for Phase I of the State Route 132 West project has kicked off ahead of schedule, and is moving full-steam ahead! In January, the crews completed excavation work, relocation of utilities, and installed k-rail along Carpenter Road.
In February, crews have begun the installation of underground storm drain pipes.
February 2020
Construction for Phase I of the State Route 132 West project has kicked off ahead of schedule, and is moving full-steam ahead! In December 2019, crews began the excavation of 40,000 cubic yards of dirt from the construction site, south of Kansas Avenue. This process is called ‘clearing and grubbing’ in the construction world. In this project’s case, the 40,000 CY of dirt that is being removed, is being recycled to the State Route 120 Union Road Interchange Improvement Project.
Crews have also been hard at work relocating the utilities, a process that starts with drilling then the installation of a conduit for the utilities.
