What is the SR 132 West Project?

State Route (SR) 132 is the main east-west thoroughfare and freight corridor from the City of Modesto to San Joaquin County and the San Francisco Bay Area. The two-lane conventional highway provides an interregional connection between Interstate 5 (I-5) near the City of Tracy to the west and State Route 99 (SR 99) in Modesto to the east. It is the only east-west highway with access across the Tuolumne, San Joaquin and Stanislaus rivers from Modesto. SR 132 has played an increasingly significant role in serving the Central Valley, becoming a major truck route between I-5 and SR 99. Additionally, it has been identified by the Stanislaus Council of Governments’ (StanCOG) Policy Board as the highest priority corridor in the Stanislaus region.
