There’s been a great deal of community interest in the rehabilitation of Santa Fe Drive between Merced and Atwater — and we’re excited to say this important project is moving closer to construction!
Merced County has worked hard to identify funding and put the pieces together to make this project happen. We know how important this road is to our residents, businesses, and everyone who travels between Merced and Atwater.
We anticipate the project to tentatively start in mid to late October.
We are currently awaiting the asphalt, and once it arrives, we’ll be ready to get to work.
The work will be done at night to minimize impacts to the community and keep traffic moving as much as possible during the day.
A big thank you to our partners at MCAG and our cities for working with us to move this project forward.
Better roads. Stronger communities. Getting things done.
We know Santa Fe Drive has been a priority for our community, and we’re proud to help make this long-awaited improvement a reality.
Stay tuned—Santa Fe Drive improvements are on the way!
