Addresses safety concerns in a high accident corridor:
 
- 782 accidents (2003-06)
- 11 fatalities (2003-06)
- 453 injuries (2003-06)
 
Eliminates dangerous left turns
   
Reduces delays on US 101
   
Provides safer access for local business and residents
   
Provides congestion relief for 70,000 to 103,000 vehicles per day (peak flow)


The Prunedale Improvement Project will construct three new interchanges / overpasses along US 101 through North Monterey County at: Russell/Espinosa, Blackie/Reese, and Crazy Horse Canyon/Echo Valley Roads. The project will also close the remaining gaps in the concrete median barrier from Crazy Horse Canyon to Russell/Espinoza, resulting in one continuous barrier. Additional Improvements will also be made to the San Miguel flyover and to local roads throughout the corridor to improve access and local circulation.
